Abu Dhabi has launched a finance initiative which is forecast to add AED56 billion ($15.3 billion) to the emirate’s gross domestic product by 2045.

The FinTech, Insurance, Digital and Alternative Assets cluster, also known as Fida, is expected to generate 8,000 skilled jobs and attract at least AED17 billion in investment, the UAE state-run Wam news agency reported.

The scheme was approved by Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and announced at the Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025.

It will be overseen by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office.

Fida will expand access to diverse funding sources, including alternative lending, venture debt and growth capital, for small and medium enterprises, which represent 42 percent of Abu Dhabi’s non-oil GDP, the report said.

The cluster will also “strengthen Abu Dhabi’s insurance and reinsurance capacity, supporting the emirate’s growing economy and establishing it as a centre for sophisticated risk management”.

It will further enable the development of investor-protected savings products for UAE nationals and expatriates, as well as the establishment of new retirement planning frameworks.

More from Abu Dhabi Finance Week:

  • Brevan Howard to capitalise on Abu Dhabi growth
  • Abu Dhabi to invest $16bn expanding financial hub
  • Mubadala in talks to acquire struggling Brazilian fintech

This is the latest venture in the UAE capital to bring together various fields in the same sector.

In October 2023 Abu Dhabi set up the smart and autonomous vehicles industry (Savi) group in Masdar City, which aimed to add up to AED120 billion to the country’s economy.

In April the government launched the health, endurance, longevity and medicine (Helm) scheme, bringing together global companies focused on the preventative care, drug efficacy and human longevity industries.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
