Sure, Noah. So I think, you know, as I was mentioning, we started looking at this new ecosystem and we constantly keep in touch with them to see what do they need. From very early days, we looked at their licensing and regulatory requirements. So we created our own regulatory sandbox that actually becomes a testbed for these companies. We created licenses which are curated to their requirements.

We created co-working spaces for the first time in the center just to make sure that we actually bring an ecosystem that resonates with startups and entrepreneurs. We brought in accelerator programs.

It would be access to market, access to capital, regulatory support, and access to talent. We try and enable all of that through the DIFC Innovation Hub, and we've been able to. I mean, there have been a lot of companies that have gone through our accelerator programs, gone through our sandboxes, and we ourselves invest in startups as well.
