- Capital.com partnered with ADGM Academy to launch a nationwide initiative aimed at strengthening financial literacy and digital investment education across the UAE.
- The programme, set to roll out in 2026, focuses on building a future-ready Emirati talent pipeline aligned with the country’s long-term economic vision.
- The collaboration will combine global trading expertise with regulatory-backed education, equipping participants with practical financial, digital, and investment skills.
The global multi-asset trading platform Capital.com has inked a strategic partnership with the ADGM Academy, the knowledge and talent development arm of Abu Dhabi Global Market, to launch a comprehensive national drive for improving financial literacy and further developing digital investment education in the UAE. This collaboration has been sealed through the signing of an MoU; it manifests the reciprocal commitment towards building a future-ready Emirati talent pool, aligned with the country's long-term economic priorities.
The program is scheduled to start in 2026 and is tailored to support the wider UAE vision of creating a diversified, knowledge-based economy, among other things, by equipping them with basic financial and investment skills. By merging Capital.com's global expertise in digital trading and financial markets with the already well-established role of ADGM Academy in education and professional development, the initiative seeks to bridge existing knowledge gaps and equip participants with the confidence to navigate increasingly complex financial landscapes.
The core of the program would involve financial literacy improvement at foundational and advanced levels to help participants understand the broad concepts of personal finance, responsible investment, risk management, and market dynamics. Alongside, strong emphasis on digital investment literacy will be given, considering the greater engagement of technology-driven platforms, data analytics, and fintech solutions in today's global financial markets. This is important for ensuring that learners are not only financially informed but also digitally fluent-a combination seen as critical for future workforce readiness.

The partnership also focuses on the development of Emirati talent through structured learning curves that can help translate education into capability in the real world. Participants will be exposed to practical investment tools, market simulations, and relevant industry insights through workshops, training modules, and potential certification programmes. This is the way to eventually prepare Emiratis for a career in finance, fintech, and capital markets, while continuing to support entrepreneurship and informed participation in investment activities.
It ensures that ADGM Academy involvement keeps this initiative tied closely to regulatory standards, best practices in governance, and the evolving needs of the UAE financial ecosystem. As part of one of the world's best international financial centres, the academy brings in a good deal of credibility, institutional knowledge and provides access to a wide-ranging network of all important industry stakeholders to enhance the reach and long-term impact of the programme.
The MoU with Capital.com represents a strategic commitment to responsible growth in the region, through investment in education and capability-building rather than mere platform expansion. This partnership underpins the importance of informed decision-making and ethical participation in financial markets. In pursuit of that, Capital.com will be building a scalable, future-oriented model for education with the ADGM Academy, one that empowers individuals, reinforces market confidence, and constructively contributes to long-term economic resilience and further advances global competitiveness for the UAE.
