Helena Patacao honored as One of Dubai’s Most Inspiring Women Entrepreneurs

Helena Patacao has been spotlighted by The Gulf Entrepreneur as one of the Most Inspiring Women Entrepreneurs from Dubai in 2023.

With an impressive 18 years of experience in the energy sector, Helena Patacao initially led efforts in the commercialization of electricity in Portugal, where she honed her business strategy, energy systems integration, and energy management—achieving a remarkable one-to-one ratio of negotiations to closings that she calls her "Business 'sniper' mode".

Driven by a vision of sustainable, autonomous energy solutions, Helena Patacao expanded her footprint by founding her company in Dubai in 2019, choosing the city as her global hub due to its supportive ecosystem and values-aligned governance.

A martial artist since childhood, Helena Patacao brings the same discipline and ethical conviction to her work. She emphasizes integrity and cooperation over competition, even codifying this approach with a "Conscious Contract Clause" for all her partnerships.

Beyond business, Helena Patacao is committed to a balanced, purpose-driven life—one that nourishes her roles as a mother, entrepreneur, and martial arts Master. She is currently developing "Elektra," an off-grid, energy-independent housing concept, and preparing a book that explores harnessing personal energy as a tool for human evolution.

This recognition by The Gulf Entrepreneur not only celebrates Helena's professional achievements but also her transformative leadership in sustainable energy and ethical entrepreneurship—making her a standout role model among Dubai's most inspiring women.
