Institutions looking for the latest fintech solutions and startups looking for corporate adoption can avail themselves of the Digital Marketplace to find the right partners. ADGM encourages collaborative growth, in addition to providing an opportunity to integrate FinTech solutions with institutional data and functionality to test for scalability and robustness.
