In fact, Access Abu Dhabi, together with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), has partnered with Unstoppable Domains – a Web3 identity platform and a non-fungible token (NFT) domain name provider – with an aim of providing free crypto domains to all women residing in the emirate, according to a press release by Access Abu Dhabi on June 2. Specifically, the organizers aim to make the capital of the United Arab Emirates a place of opportunity “for more women to learn about and ultimately participate in Web3, a space where only 5% to 7% of all cryptocurrency users are women and just 12% work in blockchain.”
Partners’ plans for equal opportunities in the Abu Dhabi crypto future
The announcement of the move was part of the Access Abu Dhabi-sponsored delegation visit to the UAE capital by the “Women of Web3”, a U.S. organization that gathers female tech entrepreneurs looking to expand worldwide, with this emirate as a starting point. Commenting on the announcement, Senior Vice President of Unstoppable Domains and founder of Unstoppable Women of Web3, Sandy Carter said that: On behalf of ADIO, its Acting Director General, Eng. Abdulla Abdul Aziz Al Shamsi explained that: As it happens, the emirate is already making a name for itself as one of the hubs for crypto development. In December 2021, Finbold reported on the plans of Mubadala Investment Company, one of the UAE’s sovereign wealth funds, to invest in the “crypto ecosystem”. It is worth noting that Eng. Abdulla Abdul Aziz Al Shamsi is also the Head of Investments and New Initiatives at Mubadala.
