Emirati fintech startup SouqView has launched an Arabic-first platform that combines financial education, simulated trading and AI-powered guidance, allowing users to practise market strategies without risking real money.
Founded by Mohammed Al Nasri, the Abu Dhabi-based startup uses real-market pricing and virtual portfolios covering UAE and US-listed companies. Prices are displayed in UAE dirhams by default, according to the announcement.
The platform offers 288 lessons across 49 learning units, covering topics from share-market fundamentals to broader financial markets. Its gamified format is designed to make financial education more accessible to beginners and support learning through experimentation.
SouqView won the Fintech Sector Award at the 2nd Khalifa Fund Entrepreneurship Competition, organised by the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development in collaboration with the Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award.
Developed under the Done by Youth initiative, the platform provides free educational and simulated trading features. The company said it is also working with educational institutions and aims to reach younger users across the GCC and wider MENA region.
“Learning to invest should begin with understanding, not with putting your savings at risk,” Al Nasri said. The platform, he added, is intended to give beginners a place to ask questions, test ideas and learn from mistakes without losing real money.
