    Odisha Chief Minister Launches UAE Investment Roadshow in Abu Dhabi and Dubai

    Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has embarked on a three-day investment roadshow in the United Arab Emirates, covering Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The visit, his second international investment outreach, aims to attract global capital and showcase Odisha’s industrial opportunities.

    Majhi will meet with UAE government officials, sovereign investment funds, institutional investors, and business leaders. The Odisha government will present the state’s industrial policies, infrastructure, and investment-ready projects to companies operating in the Gulf region.

    Abu Dhabi Meetings

    The chief minister’s program begins in Abu Dhabi, where he will hold a roundtable with International Holding Company (IHC), a major Abu Dhabi-based investment group. He is also scheduled to meet UAE Minister of Investment Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi and representatives of sovereign investment funds. The Odisha delegation plans to sign Memoranda of Cooperation to strengthen business ties with UAE institutions.

    Before the trip, Majhi stated, “Our vision is clear: to make Odisha the first choice for investors seeking opportunity, stability and sustainable growth.” He added that the state would use the UAE visit to expand engagement with international investors.

    Dubai Events

    After Abu Dhabi, Majhi will travel to Dubai for direct meetings with company executives and prospective investors. Discussions will focus on potential investment projects and industrial partnerships. He will also attend the Odisha Investors’ Meet in Dubai on September 11, bringing together investors, business representatives, and officials to explore sector opportunities. Additionally, Majhi will engage with the Odia diaspora in the UAE as part of the state’s broader outreach.

    Investment Opportunities

    During the meetings, the Odisha government will showcase its investment-ready projects, industrial infrastructure, and policy support. Officials will discuss emerging sectors seeking domestic and foreign investment. Majhi emphasized, “With a strong focus on EoDB, investor confidence, enabling policies and faster project execution, we are creating an ecosystem where businesses can invest, grow and thrive.”

    The state expects the UAE meetings to open further discussions with companies and investment institutions interested in India, while exploring opportunities to increase trade and industrial cooperation between Odisha and the UAE.

    Senior officials including Industries Minister Sampad Chandra Swain and Chief Secretary Anu Garg are part of the delegation. The UAE outreach concludes on September 12, after which Majhi will return to Odisha.

  • CertiK Named Preferred Security and Compliance Vendor for Hub71, Boosting Abu Dhabi’s Digital Asset Ecosystem

    CertiK Named Preferred Security and Compliance Vendor for Hub71, Boosting Abu Dhabi’s Digital Asset Ecosystem

    NEW YORK, New York [July 6, 2026] — CertiK, the largest Web3 security services provider, today announced its selection as an official vendor for Hub71, the global tech ecosystem based in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The partnership gives Hub71 portfolio companies preferred access to CertiK’s security and compliance services as they build and scale in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital asset hubs.

    As part of the partnership, Hub71 portfolio companies will receive a 20% discount across CertiK’s full range of services, backed by a total subsidy pool of $200,000 available to eligible companies in the ecosystem. Hub71 startups will also receive free access to the CertiK Compliance Tool, CertiK’s platform for navigating licensing applications — including with the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and the UAE Central Bank — and for managing ongoing regulatory compliance.

    The partnership comes as digital asset regulation in the UAE and beyond has moved from an exploratory phase into active, cross-jurisdictional enforcement. For early-stage companies, that shift has raised the stakes around licensing readiness, AML compliance, and smart contract security from day one, rather than as later-stage concerns.

    Through the partnership, Hub71 companies gain direct access to CertiK’s suite of services, including smart contract audits, penetration testing, and ongoing security monitoring, alongside compliance support tailored to the licensing pathways most relevant to companies building in and around ADGM. The CertiK Compliance Tool is designed to help founders track requirements across jurisdictions as they expand internationally, reducing the time and cost typically associated with multi-jurisdictional licensing.

    The collaboration reinforces CertiK’s role as a trusted security and compliance partner for high-growth digital asset ecosystems globally, and reflects Hub71’s continued investment in giving portfolio companies access to the infrastructure and expertise needed to scale responsibly.
