The DMCC Crypto Centre, a leading free zone and ecosystem for cryptographic and blockchain technologies, has announced a strategic partnership with the American University in Dubai (AUD). The two entities have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance crypto education and develop professional talent within the region’s burgeoning Web3 sector.
Forging a Strategic Alliance for Crypto Literacy
The MoU was officially signed by Feryal Ahmadi, Chief Operating Officer of DMCC, and Dr. Assaad Farah, Interim Provost and Chief Academic Officer of the American University in Dubai. This collaboration aims to merge academic theory with real-world industry application, significantly raising crypto awareness and expertise.
By joining forces, DMCC and AUD will focus on mutual research initiatives, knowledge-exchange programs, and developing a curriculum that aligns with the evolving demands of the global financial landscape. The partnership underscores a shared commitment to positioning Dubai as a worldwide hub for blockchain innovation and talent development.
Bridging Academia and Industry with Practical Experience
A central pillar of this collaboration is the creation of structured student internship programs. These opportunities will provide students with invaluable hands-on experience in digital assets, blockchain technology, and commodities trading directly within the DMCC Crypto Centre ecosystem.
This initiative is designed to bridge the critical gap between academic learning and industry requirements, equipping graduates with the practical skills and professional insights needed to excel. By integrating market intelligence into the university’s agenda, the partnership ensures students gain a competitive edge in today’s dynamic job market.
Cultivating a New Generation of Web3 Professionals
The alliance grants AUD students and faculty unprecedented access to Dubai’s rapidly growing crypto sector. Through specialized knowledge-exchange programs, participants will have the opportunity to interact with industry leaders, develop crucial analytical skills, and explore emerging technologies firsthand.
Ultimately, this joint endeavor strengthens Dubai’s reputation as a top innovation hub by cultivating a new wave of professionals armed with the advanced knowledge and skills required to navigate and lead in the fast-paced Web3 market.
