It will also help small businesses (SMEs) grow and support technology companies through Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s tech hub. Mastercard will work with ADIO to create tools for the gaming industry and other fast-growing areas.

The agreement also aims to find new business chances within Mastercard’s network. These ideas will help local and global markets. The plan uses Abu Dhabi’s strong business system to grow the economy. It also focuses on making payments more digital and offering better tools to meet Abu Dhabi’s needs.

His Excellency Badr Al Olama said, “Making Abu Dhabi’s economy smarter and more connected is very important. This partnership with Mastercard will help small businesses grow, attract skilled people from around the world, and boost Abu Dhabi’s tourism. It’s a big step toward building a bright future where everyone succeeds.”

Dr. Dimitrios Dosis from Mastercard said, “We are proud to work with ADIO to help Abu Dhabi grow as a center for new ideas and business success. By sharing our skills, we want to create chances for businesses, support the community, and make the economy stronger.”

The PGIM deal will create a new center called RealAssetX Abu Dhabi. This center will focus on research and new ideas for real estate and property. It will include a research lab where universities, research groups, and Hub71 can work together. RealAssetX will bring worldwide ideas and knowledge to Abu Dhabi.

The agreement will also help PGIM work with Abu Dhabi’s universities, start-up helpers, and investors. It will focus on clean energy, new tools, and better real estate systems. The deal may also lead to setting up a fund worth USD 250 million to support these efforts.

His Excellency Badr Al Olama said, “This partnership with PGIM shows Abu Dhabi’s promise to build a strong future based on skills and knowledge. RealAssetX will bring together local talent and global experts, keeping Abu Dhabi a leader in financial growth.”
