This agreement was signed at the annual CV Summit 2024, Switzerland’s premier blockchain and Web3 event, which brought together thousands of industry leaders and entrepreneurs in Zug this week.

Both organizations aim to accelerate Web3 entrepreneurship between Dubai and Switzerland, creating a dynamic innovation corridor.
As a strategic regional alliance, DMCC and CV VC will enhance their ecosystems through mutual and cross-border collaboration, which will include educational initiatives like workshops and seminars, resource and workspace exchanges, and joint events such as the Web3 Hub during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2025. CV VC will also take part in the upcoming DMCC-Bybit Hackathon, highlighting a shared commitment to promoting blockchain technology innovation in the region.
