4/22/24, 2:03 PM Capital Opens New Regional Head Office In UAE Under #Nextgenfdi Initiative | MENAFN.COM

HE 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 are helping us to

secure our position as one of the world's most dynamic, future-focused global hubs."

Capital 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 will not only benefit from the UAE's robust tech ecosystem,
but also its deep talent pool. Capital was also one of the sponsors of the Ministry of

Economy's activities at the inaugural COP 28 Trade Day last December.
