COTI’s involvement reflects the region and the continued interest in applying real-world assets (RWAS) to bridge traditional funds to the blockchain economy.
MENA and the wider African economic landscape are one of the most dynamic environments for technological advances worldwide. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 aims to transform the kingdom into a global AI powerhouse with unparalleled levels of investment.
This includes a $100 billion initiative to build investments in public investment funds (PIFs), $40 billion AI funds, and project transcendence, data centers, startups and AI infrastructure.
As a key partner for Saabic, Coti brings deep insight into the confidentiality, auditability and methods of compliance to bridge the gap between traditional finance and Web3 technologies.
COTI’s technology addresses the biggest barrier to institutional adoption of public blockchain and compliant privacy. COTI’s fast and efficient privacy technology unlocks RWAS, a trillion dollar opportunity that spans lending, domestic infrastructure, products and everything in between.

COTI CEO Shahaf Bar-Geffen is excited by the new frontier, where involvement with SAAIBC unlocks his product and its global adoption.
This is a rare opportunity to form blockchain policies and infrastructure in the early stages of Africa and the MENA region. By bringing together infrastructure providers, including COTIs, together with investors, government officials and businesses, you can bring meaningful projects to justice with the opinions of all relevant stakeholders, and you have the most chance of success.
Saabic announced its formation today at the Real World Assets Summit in Dubai. This event provides an ideal context for direct involvement with key stakeholders driving the evolution of technology at the highest level.
