Investopia, a global investment platform launched by the UAE Government, announced a partnership with iConnections, a leading financial technology platform, at the iConnections Global Alts 2023 event in Miami.

The partnership allows Investopia’s investment community, including asset allocators, private equity, and hedge funds, to leverage iConnections’ digital capabilities to connect and thrive. The partnership is in line with Investopia’s focus on technology and sustainability and iConnections’ goal to showcase their best-in-class managers to leading investors globally.

The partnership was signed by Mohamed Naser Al Zaabi, CEO of Investopia, and Ron Biscardi, CEO of iConnections, during the Investopia session at the iConnections event.

Al Zaabi commented on the partnership, saying, “Investopia, established by the UAE government in 2021 as a global platform, aims to bring together the global investment community, decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and innovators to explore growth opportunities in emerging economies. Our partnership with iConnections aligns with Investopia’s vision and goals, especially as we focus on technology and sustainability in a rapidly digitalizing world.”

“Our partnership with Investopia is a significant step for iConnections as investors increasingly focus on the UAE and Gulf region. This collaboration allows us to present our top-notch managers to the world’s leading investors through our capital introduction technology,” said Ron Biscardi, CEO of iConnections.
