This partnership aligns with the UAE's Vision 2030 and Net Zero by 2050 strategy, reinforcing Abu Dhabi's position as a global hub for sustainable finance and innovative RegTech combining His Highness' commitment to economic diversification with Diginex's expertise.
Advancing Sustainable Growth

Shaikh Mohammed Bin Sultan Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan said, "This strategic partnership and planned capital raise in the region reflects our long-standing commitment to both technology and sustainability in the UAE. We must address sustainability challenges, develop strategic frameworks, and craft innovative solutions to ensure a prosperous future for all. Sustainability is a cornerstone of the nation's strategies, as the UAE continues its unwavering efforts to harness resources and capabilities to drive global sustainable economic and social development."
Capital Raise and Dual Listing
The anticipated capital raise, as per the Memorandum of Understanding with Nomas Global Investments L.L.C. SPC, will target large, long-term institutional investors. It will fuel Diginex's acquisition strategy, focusing on firms in AI, sustainability, and supply chain sectors. This will provide access to a new regional investor base and opportunities in the UAE and broader GCC region, supporting Diginex's global expansion.
