), and National Cooperation New Energy Ltd ("NCNE") announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") that aims at fostering the advancement of Dubai's renewable energy infrastructure. The trilateral MoU is a first-of-its-kind partnership which joins forces of APAC's leading multi-family office, a ruling royal family of Dubai and a leading EV infrastructure company. This significant collaboration underscores a commitment to harnessing the opportunities arising from the tightening economic ties between China and the Middle East.
Chi-man Kwan, Group CEO and Co-founder of Raffles Family Office, remarked, "This MoU signifies RFO's strategic entry into the Middle East, aligning with the intensifying economic relations between China and the GCC region. This initiative is a testament to RFO's commitment to its impact investing mandate, honed over dedicated focus over the past years.

This collaboration marks a crucial step in RFO's regional exploration and market penetration efforts, setting a new benchmark in its business development trajectory."

The U.A.E.is actively working towards installing 10,000 EV charging stations by 2030, a substantial increase from the 914 stations available in 2023.
