GEC NEWS WIREThe Bitfury Group has expanded its global operations into the U.A.E., opening a Dubai office that underscores their commitment to building blockchain-based solutions for governments, companies and institutions across the region.
Bitfury’s expansion also reflects growing interest in blockchain technology among governments, businesses and institutions across the U.A.E. As they work to improve the services and systems they provide to people, they are increasingly focused on blockchain to deliver secure, trusted solutions.
“The U.A.E. is an extraordinarily innovative place and a crucial area of growth for blockchain technology,” said Valery Vavilov, CEO of Bitfury, the world’s leading full-service blockchain technology company. “We look forward to building new customer relationships and partnerships and designing the products they need to make their enterprises run more securely and efficiently.”
George Kikvadze, executive vice chairman of Bitfury, said the new office opening will advance Bitfury’s commitment to developing blockchain solutions globally.
“Expanding into the MENA region is the natural next step in Bitfury’s mission to bolster blockchain growth and improve systems for governments and business around the world,” said Kikvadze. “The U.A.E is at the heart of this growth, and we are excited to begin our work in such a dynamic country.”
