Our common goal is to support and grow the Web3 ecosystem in the United Arab Emirates by giving newcomers and institutions access to all the tools they need to be successful. Combining Klumi Ventures’ valuable local network and commitment to the UAE’s digital asset strategy with DWF Labs’ extensive expertise in Asia, this alliance is well-positioned to accomplish its objectives.
