Aptos Spreads Wings To Middle East, Opens Office In Abu Dhabi

JAKARTA - The Aptos Foundation as a global organization that supports the development of the Aptos and Web3 blockchain ecosystem, officially opens its new office in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), an international financial center in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

These efforts are part of Aptos' strategy to spread its wings in the Middle East region and encourage wider adoption of blockchain technology. The opening of the new Aptos Foundation office is expected to accelerate collaboration with various partners in the region.

Abu Dhabi was chosen because it has become one of the most advanced cities in terms of adoption of blockchain and Web3 technology supported by local government policies. By establishing an office in ADGM, the Aptos Foundation hopes to work closely with developers, institutions, and investors involved in the fast-growing Web3 ecosystem in the region.

According to Bashar Lazaar, Head of Growth and Ecostems Aptos Foundation, this decision is a strategic step to be at the forefront of blockchain development. "Abu Dhabi has become a leader in blockchain development in the world, and we want to be part of this movement," he said.

Aptos' decision to open the first overseas office in ADGM also received a positive response from the ADGM. Arvind Ramamurthy, ADGM's Chief Market Development Officer, stated that the arrival of the Aptos Foundation confirmed the position of the UAE as a center of technological innovation, especially blockchain.

"We really welcome the presence of Aptos in ADGM, which will strengthen our ecosystem and encourage the development of blockchain technology," he said, quoted by Daily Hodl, Wednesday, December 11.
