medium enterprises, entrepreneurship, financial technology, artificial intelligence, and the
circular economy as key sectors that lead the world's economies to sustainable growth.

The two agreements were signed in the presence of H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, UAE

Minister of Economy and Chairman of Investopia, and H.E. Daehee Lee, Deputy Minister at
the Korean Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises and Startups. The first agreement was
signed by Mr. Ahmed Hamza, Executive Director of the Free Zone, representing the Dubai

Multi Commodities Center, and Mr. Ganghun. Lee, Vice President of the Korea Institute for
Startup and Entrepreneurship Development. Mr. Abdul Basset Qaid, Head of Capital Funding

at the Dubai Future District Fund, and Mr. Hyung-chul Koo, Senior General Manager at KVIC,
signed the second MOU.

The agreement between DMCC and KISED is aimed at providing comprehensive support to

startups and entrepreneurs and facilitating the exchange of experiences between the two parties
to achieve mutual benefit and apply best market practices. It will also facilitate the entry of
UAE startups to Korean markets and vice versa and enhance cooperation in new industries

such as the entertainment sector, digital games, blockchain, and non-fungible token (NFT)
technologies.

Meanwhile, the agreement signed between DFDF and KVIC aims to enhance cooperation

between the two parties in the field of venture investments, share visions and experiences in
startups, and enhance their expansion and global growth, as well as exchange invitations to

participate in relevant international events.

The latest MOUs add to the already strong UAE-Korean relations, strengthening their strategic

partnership in the fields of energy, investment, emerging industry and new economy sectors.
Moreover, they highlight Investopia's success in driving investment initiatives and projects at

the local and global levels and encouraging investors and governments to explore various
investment and economic opportunities.

Investopia 2024 brought together a wide array of investors, government representatives,

entrepreneurs and experts over the two days of the event that took place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, at
the end of last February; which witnessed the attendance of more than 2,500 participants and
