Our #NextGenFDI program continues to be a magnet for global tech companies. In the past week, we welcomed the leadership team of US-based Fluent Finance, who are bringing their bank-issued stablecoins to the UAE with the aim of delivering seamless, risk-free cross-border payments. As the UAE continues to push for the digital transformation of our global trading system, Fluent's Economic Bridge promises to introduce greater supply-chain efficiency, transparency and reliability. I was also delighted to introduce Endava to the NextGenFDI program. The London-headquartered tech solutions provider will expand its regional footprint from offices in Dubai Internet City, helping more businesses and governments move from legacy systems to agile, automated platforms. As more and more web3 enterprises build promising businesses within our borders, our ecosystem will continue to develop, our talent pool deepen, and our leadership on #4IR integation solidify. With our NextGen program, we set out to redefine #FDI. Digital businesses are responding. #crypto #tradetech #stablecoins #digitaltransformation
