top priority. This partnership aims to exchange expertise and intelligence on cyber threats and provide
advanced awareness programmes to enable entrepreneurs to build their technologies with the highest
levels of resilience and security, thereby ensuring the sustainability of their growth in the digital economy.”

The cooperation agreement with the Reach Group aims to support Khalifa Fund members, further

Under the agreement, four main pillars will be focused on: employment services and outsourcing
solutions to facilitate access to qualified talent; business process outsourcing to enhance operational
efficiency across human resources, finance, and technology; customer experience management; and

driving digital transformation.
