This collaboration aims to create a unified global blockchain ecosystem to support innovation and talent exchange between India and the UAE.

Additionally, it will offer blockchain companies in India easy access to RAK DAO’s ecosystem of more than 400 companies, as well as enable them to enter the UAE market with its legal and regulatory framework.

On the other hand, IBA’s extensive network and industry knowledge of the blockchain landscape in India will provide UAE-based companies with a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem of over 115 million crypto users.

Raj Kapoor, founder of IBA, stated that the company is working on blockchain to bridge environmental, social and governance gaps, promote sustainable practices and support responsible innovation.

Their emphasis on transparency and decentralized governance aligns developments in the blockchain industry with ESG (environmental, social and governance) requirements and ensures ethical and sustainable growth. In his direct message to crypto.news, Kapoor said:

“We observe how such frameworks are used, their impact, and how these best practices can be adopted at the national level. “This partnership aims to achieve a meaningful policy transformation in our country.”

Kapoor emphasized the importance of optimizing existing structures, consuming less energy for blockchain work, and aligning technological developments with sustainability goals.

He also noted that innovative technologies such as blockchain are enabling transparency and ethically sourced products in sectors such as agriculture, fashion and electronics. In this way, strict compliance with ESG regulations can be ensured and monitored in real time with blockchain-based certificates.

Free zones in Dubai have become a leading economic hub for international investors with tax incentives, 100% ownership rights for foreign investors and flexible regulations.

By providing a favorable environment for entrepreneurs, more than 40 free zones in the region contribute to the diversification of the economy.

RAK DAO provides a strong regulatory framework for the Web3 ecosystem in an environment where regulatory uncertainties in India are hindering the development of blockchain technology.

This reduces operational barriers, allowing innovators to focus on developing solutions rather than adapting, says Kapoor. Kapoor also hopes that this partnership can help Web3 startups in India get funding from international investors.

Free zones with common law frameworks, such as the RAK DAO, are the cornerstone for blockchain. Common law creates legal assurance, investor protection and globally familiar dispute resolution mechanisms that are fundamental to any decentralized technology.

Stability in regulatory principles attracts blockchain companies that also need predictable, clear regulations to build trust and expand innovation in global markets.
