A European holding with a regional reach

UniBal Holding OÜ is a business development company registered in Tallinn, Estonia. Twelve specialised departments work under one holding, so a client can move from strategy to people, technology and markets with a single partner.

Our regional headquarters in the Middle East keeps us close to the organisations we serve, in their language and on their timetable.

Governance and management

Built to be trusted, structured to grow

A European legal structure, clear lines of responsibility and stated boundaries on what we do and don't do.

Dr. Ahmed Basil Al-Jiyalee Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
A word from the CEO

We built UniBal as a bridge: European discipline on one side, the energy of the Middle East on the other.

For years I watched capable organisations in our region struggle to reach European standards, partners and markets. The gap was never talent. It was structure, method and access.

UniBal brings twelve practices under one European holding, so a client finds strategy, people, technology and governance in one place. Within two years, each practice will stand as its own company, carrying the same mark and the same standards.

Our promise is simple: we measure ourselves by the results our clients can see.
