How Press Features Help Startups Stand Out in the UAE Market
In today's digital-first business landscape, visibility is currency. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, an early-stage startup, or an established business preparing for scale, being seen in the right places can unlock new doors — from partnerships and investments to customer trust and industry influence.
One of the most powerful yet underutilized strategies for growth in the UAE's competitive market is media placement — getting your business story featured in a reputable platform like Emirates Insight.
Getting covered in a trusted news outlet isn't just about vanity metrics or bragging rights. Here's what meaningful press exposure can do for your business:
Third-party features lend authenticity and trustworthiness to your brand. When your story is told through the lens of a respected media outlet, it signals legitimacy to your audience and stakeholders.
Investors often look beyond pitch decks — they seek market traction and credibility. A published story in an industry-relevant media platform can act as a silent pitch that works 24/7, positioning your venture in a favorable light.
Media coverage helps you reach audiences you may never have captured through ads or social media alone. From SEO benefits to word-of-mouth exposure, a single feature can continue to bring traffic and attention long after it's published.
A feature story allows you to showcase more than just your product or service. You can highlight your journey, mission, social impact, or unique approach—building emotional resonance with your audience.

TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Schneider Electric
For more than 20 years, Schneider Electric has been guided by an ambitious goal: to drive the global energy transition forward through electrification, digitalization and automation. Schneider's products and services support everything from smart energy and building management to industrial automation and EV charging. The France-based multinational supports the sustainability practices of 40% of the Fortune 500. 'We accompany customers from strategy to execution,' says Chief Sustainability Officer Esther Finidori. One example of what that looks like: Schneider helps its customers buy renewable energy from suppliers, accounting for 60% of such purchasing in the U.S. market. 'It's complicated for corporations today to source renewable energy,' Finidori says. But with its global profile, Schneider says it has helped customers avoid 679 million metric tons of CO2 emissions since 2018—equivalent to taking over 130 million cars off the road for a year. Today, the company's decarbonization solutions are in 40% of commercial buildings and homes, 50% of hospitals, and 33,000 wastewater facilities around the world. One prominent building example is JFK Airport's New Terminal One in New York City, construction of which began in September. Schneider is providing software and other tech to help build a 12-megawatt microgrid with over 13,000 solar panels—touted as the largest rooftop solar array in New York City and in any U.S. airport terminal. The microgrid will power half of the terminal's daily operations. Schneider is also helping ensure that the power-hungry data centers proliferating amid the AI boom are energy-efficient. Last year, in collaboration with AI chip giant Nvidia, the company introduced the first publicly available AI data center reference designs. Disseminating those designs is important 'because this is how we'll achieve efficiency and scale while making sure the best practices are widely adopted,' Finidori says. Schneider is achieving sustainability and efficiency not only for its customers, but in its own operations and the supply chain that supports its $38.8 billion in annual revenue. With 130,000 employees spread across 108 countries, the company's carbon footprint is complex. But Schneider aims to achieve net-zero operations by 2030 and net zero across its value chain by 2050. (During the last five years, it's cut emissions in its entire value chain by about one-fifth.) 'We want to demonstrate it's feasible to decarbonize fast and everywhere by doing it in our own operations first,' Finidori says. The company—which ranked #1 on TIME's World's Most Sustainable Companies of 2024 and 2025 lists—is on track, Finidori says. From 2021 to 2024, Schneider, which links its sustainability goals to employee pay, more than halved its operational emissions. The winning change strategy is clear: '[E]lectrification of everything—heating, industrial processes, our fleet—as well as sourcing renewable energy,' she says.

TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Fervo Energy
'It's very clear we need a lot of electricity, and we need it now,' says Fervo Energy CEO and cofounder Tim Latimer, citing the rise of AI, data centers, and electric vehicles. Fervo plans to help meet rising demand by combining fracking and geothermal technologies. Its geothermal systems pump water deep into the earth to generate 24/7 renewable electricity, unlike intermittent wind turbines and solar arrays. The Houston-based startup's innovative technology drills not only vertically but horizontally, too, so it can access more heat. Founded eight years ago, Fervo partnered with Google on a 3.5-megawatt commercial project in Nevada, which opened in 2023—'the first time anyone ever proved that enhanced geothermal systems are commercially ready today,' Latimer says. Now Fervo is building the 500-MW Cape Station project in Utah, which will provide power to utility Southern California Edison as part of the world's largest-ever geothermal power purchasing agreement.

TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Pok Pok
By design, online games get kids hooked on hyperstimulation: a "continuous stream of music, annoying voices that say 'good job,' and here's a reward and a sparkling unicorn on top," says Esther Huybreghts, co-founder and chief creative officer of Pok Pok. The Toronto-based startup's app, which the company describes as 'non-addictive' and inspired by Montessori, is quieter, providing children aged 2 to 8 with an unstructured, ungamified digital 'playroom,' where kids can freely explore different fun settings. Downloaded more than one million times globally in 2024, Pok Pok designs app play spaces with support from a roster of experts; astronaut and mom Kellie Gerardi helped with a new one released in January called Space, for instance. "The kids' digital landscape was 90% candy when we arrived," says co-founder and CEO Melissa Cash. "We just want to bring some nutrients." In the last year, Pok Pok grew its subscriber base ninefold while making the app now available on Android and Amazon Fire devices.
