§ 01 · About

A bridge between the Gulf
and China's leading firms.

Skystone exists to do one thing well: bring the capability of China's most accomplished firms into the work of Gulf principals — across real estate and construction, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing. The work is retained, private, and selective.

A decade operating inside Dubai's most exacting institutions sits behind the practice, alongside longstanding relationships across Mainland China. Native Mandarin fluency and deep ties within China's construction, technology, and manufacturing sectors ensure cross-border execution succeeds.

Skystone advises principals and family offices on capital deployment, partner selection, and end-to-end implementation — so clients don't have to navigate it themselves.

§ 02 · Services

Six disciplines, three sectors, one standard.

01

Real Estate & Construction

Acquisition, development feasibility, and end-to-end delivery — with China's top contractors and developers engaged early for cost, buildability, and execution.

02

Artificial Intelligence

Partner selection, joint-venture structuring, and deployment for AI labs, model providers, and applied-AI firms entering the Gulf — or backed by Gulf capital into China.

03

Advanced Manufacturing

Sourcing, technology transfer, and industrial-park engagements with leading Chinese manufacturers — robotics, EV, semiconductors, and clean-energy supply chains.

04

Investment Advisory

Underwriting, structuring, and sourcing across sectors. Hold-period analysis and capital-deployment strategy benchmarked to the principal's horizon.

05

Implementation & Oversight

Owner's representation from first agreement through delivery — managing counterparties, consultants, and contractors so commitments are met as specified.

06

Strategic Insights

Periodic notes on China–Gulf capital flows, technology transfer, and cross-border execution — written for clients.

§ 03 · Process

Four stages, over long horizons.

I

Initial Consultation

A single 90-minute meeting at our office or yours. No charge, no obligation.

Stage I
II

Position Paper

A written brief: opportunity, capital structure, partner shortlist, and go/no-go recommendation.

Stage II
III

Diligence & Partner Engagement

Counterparties engaged, terms negotiated, specifications locked. Chinese partners brought in early — for cost, buildability, or technology fit.

Stage III
IV

Implementation & Oversight

On-the-ground presence, monthly reports, quarterly reviews — through delivery and the post-completion period.

Stage IV
§ 04 · Partners

Representative firms in the markets we serve — across construction, technology, and manufacturing.
