Abu Dhabi has launched a finance initiative which is forecast to add AED56 billion ($15.3 billion) to the emirate’s gross domestic product by 2045.

The FinTech, Insurance, Digital and Alternative Assets cluster, also known as Fida, is expected to generate 8,000 skilled jobs and attract at least AED17 billion in investment, the UAE state-run Wam news agency reported.

The scheme was approved by Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and announced at the Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025.

It will be overseen by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office.

Fida will expand access to diverse funding sources, including alternative lending, venture debt and growth capital, for small and medium enterprises, which represent 42 percent of Abu Dhabi’s non-oil GDP, the report said.

The cluster will also “strengthen Abu Dhabi’s insurance and reinsurance capacity, supporting the emirate’s growing economy and establishing it as a centre for sophisticated risk management”.

It will further enable the development of investor-protected savings products for UAE nationals and expatriates, as well as the establishment of new retirement planning frameworks.

More from Abu Dhabi Finance Week:

  • Brevan Howard to capitalise on Abu Dhabi growth
  • Abu Dhabi to invest $16bn expanding financial hub
  • Mubadala in talks to acquire struggling Brazilian fintech

This is the latest venture in the UAE capital to bring together various fields in the same sector.

In October 2023 Abu Dhabi set up the smart and autonomous vehicles industry (Savi) group in Masdar City, which aimed to add up to AED120 billion to the country’s economy.

In April the government launched the health, endurance, longevity and medicine (Helm) scheme, bringing together global companies focused on the preventative care, drug efficacy and human longevity industries.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
