DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — XRP Healthcare is proud to announce its strategic partnership with Foventa for the All Things Lab and Testing Expo and Dialogue (ATLT), Africa’s foremost event dedicated to laboratory and testing services. Set to take place from October 3rd to 5th, 2024, at Nairobi’s Sarit Centre, ATLT will gather over 100 exhibitors and more than 10,000 delegates from over 20 countries, spanning industries such as healthcare, agriculture, engineering, and ICT. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in XRP Healthcare’s mission to revolutionize healthcare in Africa and beyond, with a focus on AI-driven healthcare solutions.

This partnership aligns with XRP Healthcare’s broader strategy to advance healthcare innovation, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI). The company recently established a dedicated AI team to pioneer advancements in healthcare AI, positioning itself at the forefront of AI integration in diagnostics, patient care, and medical research throughout Africa.

In conjunction with the event, XRP Healthcare is set to unveil the much-anticipated fourth edition of XRP Healthcare Magazine, which will be distributed to all ATLT attendees. This issue features none other than Elon Musk on the front cover, underscoring the magazine’s commitment to showcasing visionary leaders who are shaping the future of technology and healthcare.

The magazine also delves into the potential implications of a Donald Trump presidency on the rapidly evolving intersections of cryptocurrency and healthcare. In this issue, experts discuss how a return of Trump to the White House could create regulatory shifts that might either accelerate or challenge the growth of both the crypto and healthcare sectors. As these two industries become increasingly intertwined, the magazine provides in-depth insights into how blockchain and AI could reshape healthcare systems, making them more efficient and accessible.

“Our collaboration with Foventa is a significant milestone, as we aim to push the boundaries of healthcare in Africa. AI is rapidly transforming healthcare, and with our new AI team in place, we are poised to deliver cutting-edge solutions that will make healthcare more accessible and efficient. The ATLT expo will serve as a perfect platform to showcase our AI-driven initiatives to the African continent and beyond,” said Kain Roomes, CEO of XRP Healthcare.

With global projections showing that the healthcare AI market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 41.7% from 2021 to 2028, reaching a market value of $120.2 billion by 2028, XRP Healthcare is positioning itself at the forefront of this revolution. Africa, with its unique healthcare challenges, presents an enormous opportunity for AI solutions to enhance diagnostics and patient care, and XRP Healthcare is ready to lead the charge.

Whitney Lynn, Chairman of XRP Healthcare, highlighted the company’s strategic approach:

“We are focused on building a robust, forward-looking healthcare ecosystem, where AI plays a central role in enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. Partnering with organizations like Foventa, as well as our ongoing collaborations with other healthcare innovators, will further accelerate our progress. Our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and accessibility remains at the core of every decision we make.”

As the official media partner of the ATLT expo, XRP Healthcare Magazine will play a pivotal role in bringing the latest healthcare innovations to the forefront. The magazine will feature exclusive interviews, thought leadership pieces, and cutting-edge analysis, with physical copies distributed to all event attendees. This edition will also spotlight XRP Healthcare’s evolution towards AI-driven solutions and its role in the broader transformation of the healthcare sector. With contributions from some of the world’s most influential leaders, such as Elon Musk and commentary on Donald Trump’s potential influence on the future of crypto and healthcare, the magazine is expected to generate significant buzz.

Laban Roomes, COO at XRP Healthcare, on the Exponential Growth of AI and Partnerships:

“The innovation and upward trajectory of AI technology are truly exponential, and XRP Healthcare is at the epicentre of this transformation. Our partnership with Foventa marks just the beginning of an era where AI will not only enhance but also reshape the healthcare landscape across Africa and beyond. The sheer number of opportunities now opening up for us as a company is extraordinary. We are forging partnerships that will drive both innovation and expansion, leveraging AI to unlock solutions that were previously unimaginable. These technologies can help bridge the gap between patients and care in ways that traditional models of healthcare simply cannot match. With the global healthcare AI market set to exceed $120 billion by 2028, we are in a unique position to harness this growth and bring transformative, life-saving solutions to millions.”

As XRP Healthcare continues to push the envelope in healthcare innovation, the company remains committed to forming new, groundbreaking partnerships in the AI space. The partnership with Foventa is just the beginning, with plans already in motion to explore further collaborations that can amplify the reach and impact of XRP Healthcare’s AI-powered solutions. XRP Healthcare is focused on ensuring that its innovations not only advance healthcare technology but also improve the accessibility and quality of care for millions across Africa and the globe.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
