RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Fintactics, a Saudi based, leading venture builder specializing in financial technology, today announced a new strategic partnership with Ethos Invest, a global investment firm, and Arbah Capital, a prominent investment firm licenced by the Capital Market Authority (CMA) in Saudi Arabia in relation to its Fintactics Financial Technology Fund.

The fund, targeting $40 million (150M SAR) in commitments and managed by Arbah Capital, aims to make Shariah-compliant investments in early-stage FinTech companies primarily in the Kingdom, but also in the Middle East and the rest of the world.

This collaborative effort marks a significant milestone in fostering innovation within the Saudi financial services industry and leverages the expertise of each organization: Fintactics’ proven track record in building successful ventures in the country, Ethos Invest’s global investment expertise, and Arbah Capital’s deep understanding of the regional financial landscape.

The fund, targeting $40 million (150M SAR) in commitments and managed by Arbah Capital, aims to make Shariah-compliant investments in early-stage FinTech companies primarily in the Kingdom, but also in the Middle East and the rest of the world. The targeted fundraising would put the fund at the forefront of private venture capital funds in Saudi Arabia, in terms of size.

The partnership signifies increasing global confidence in startups in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia has rapidly become a leading hub in the FinTech industry and for venture capital in the region, ranking first across MENA for total venture capital funding in the first half of 20241. This significant growth can be seen in light of efforts taken under Vision 2030 to develop Saudi’s venture capital ecosystem.

Early Investments Showcase Commitment to Supporting Innovative Founders

The team are already engaging actively with startups in the venture capital ecosystem and have built a strong pipeline of deal opportunities in the Kingdom and globally.

Several investment opportunities have been secured for the fund and it is envisaged that capital will be deployed into a number of exciting FinTech businesses later this year.

The fund aligns with our broader mission to help build new businesses that leverage cutting edge financial and technology solutions to make people’s lives better.”

HZICC: The 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards Celebrating Visionaries Elevating the City’s Global Profile

Published

By

HANGZHOU, China, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What does the world see when it looks at Hangzhou? The Hangzhou & Friends: 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards, unveiled on February 4, offered an answer—not through statistics alone, but through the stories of connection that unfolded across the year.

The awards were born from a simple recognition: that a city’s global presence is built not only on grand events, but on the countless moments when people reach across borders. To honor this, the organizers structured the awards into four chapters: Dialogue of Civilizations, Industrial Narratives, Social Innovation, and Moments of the Year, each capturing a different way that Hangzhou touched the world.

Across these categories, moments of quiet resonance stood out. In the realm of cultural dialogue, ten friends from ten nations explored Hangzhou for the first time, their journeys later echoed by the city’s own return visits to Istanbul and Cairo. After the visits, a German photographer’s image of Qiandao Lake’s giant net fishing found its way to the pages of The Times, Hangzhou’s bond with Verona deepened into a year-long romance of music, art, and shared celebration, proving that sister-city ties can bloom into something far richer than ceremony.

On the Liangzhu Day of 2025, the “Liangzhu and the World: Dialogue between Liangzhu Ancient City and Rome Ancient City” was held—one of several moments when the region’s archaeological treasures found new resonance on the global stage. Beyond culture, the awards recognized how Hangzhou’s industries are telling Chinese stories overseas, from Geely’s global development to the rise of cross-border e-commerce that brings Hangzhou products,and the culture behind them directly to international consumers.

Yet there were also countless other people and moments that helped the world know Hangzhou. An international student from Pakistan filmed the city he had come to call home, capturing not just its landmarks but the feeling of belonging. A volunteer from Zimbabwe found himself holding hands with local police and strangers in a human chain at West Lake to maintain traffic order, discovering that being welcomed means being trusted to help. The Hangzhou International Conference Center became a stage for cross-cultural encounter, while Hangzhou’s tech-themed travel routes offered visitors a chance to explore the city’s cutting-edge innovations.

Together, these moments traced a portrait of Hangzhou not as a place that simply welcomes visitors, but as one that listens, shares, and grows, through the people who carry its stories onward.
