This is the basis behind creating Investopia, to be able to engage the views and case studies of various internatio­nal jurisdicti­ons and operations, and why we are seeking partners like SALT.”

Investopia’s first annual conference, which took place on the 28 March 2022 in Dubai during Expo 2020, successful­ly initiated strategic business dialogues across 12 vital economic sectors, such as education, renewable energy, supply chain, logistics, space, agri-tech, and healthcare.
