4/22/24, 2:03 PM Capital.com opens its new regional head office in UAE – The Gulf Time Newspaper
Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, said, “The UAE is attracting world-
class technology companies with bold growth plans and global ambitions. These businesses recognise that

the UAE offers not just one of the most vibrant ecosystems in the world, but also serves as an access point
to expanding regional economies and the high-growth markets of Asia and Africa. “Our #NextGenFDI
programme continues to draw top global firms and is becoming an essential pillar as the UAE seeks to

attract capital in all its forms – technological, human and financial. Companies like Capital.com are helping
us to secure our position as one of the world’s most dynamic, future-focused global hubs,” he added.

Kypros Zoumidou, Group Chief Executive Officer, Capital.com, said, “Capital.com’s foray into the UAE
marks an important development in our global growth trajectory. As a cutting edge fintech company
regulated across multiple jurisdictions, the UAE was a natural choice for our first subsidiary in the region.”

“With its business-friendly ecosystem, supportive market-entry requirements, flourishing knowledge-based
economy, and perfect location as a base for wider expansion, the UAE continues to cement its position as a
dynamic tech hub for innovative companies with global ambitions,” said Zoumidou.

“We look forward to joining the #NextGenFDI community.”
Capital.com is set to become a leading member of the UAE’s #NextGenFDI Programme, a government-led

initiative enabling cutting-edge companies from around the world to establish and expand their operations in
the UAE. In 2022, the company was a sponsor of the UAE’s NextGenTalent initiative, which was aimed at
developing the capabilities of local youth and preparing future leaders in the technology sector.

NextGenTalent brought together 5,000 students from Emirati universities to learn essential advanced
technology skills from industry leaders from the likes of META, Oracle, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and

Stripe. Under the NextGen FDI Programme, Capital.com will not only benefit from the UAE’s robust tech
ecosystem, but also its deep talent pool. Capital.com was also one of the sponsors of the Ministry of
Economy’s activities at the inaugural COP 28 Trade Day last December.
