DIFC Innovation Licence granted to Vault Tech Ltd
Vault Tech Ltd. receives DIFC Innovation Licence and joins the DIFC Innovation Hub.
We are pleased to announce that Vault Tech Ltd. has been granted a DIFC Innovation Licence, marking Vault’s entry into the DIFC ecosystem.
Vault Tech will prioritize infrastructure projects and will run two separate R&D streams in parallel. The first stream will focus on infrastructure to extend the benefits of tokenized future from institutions to broader groups. The second stream will work on infrastructure to improve efficiency and resolve “side effects” of AI transition through application of technology.
Vault Tech is an R&D-led technology studio launched to design and build frontier technologies solutions. Based in the DIFC Innovation Hub, Vault Tech is positioned inside the region’s most active innovation environment, alongside the teams shaping the next generation of financial and enterprise technology.
Vault Tech will be supervised by a supervisory board chaired by Vault CEO, Aleko Nanadze. It will also be supported by its advisory board from the investment and technology space.
Vault Tech will produce in-house intellectual property. The work will be delivered in close collaboration with Vault Advisory, pairing tech execution with corporate and operational support. The goal is simple: create durable technology, attract talent and build capabilities that can scale into new products and future spin-outs.
Vault Tech is a foundational step in Vault’s path to becoming fully institutionalised and regulated in DIFC. In parallel to building our technology capability, Vault is progressing toward its next milestone: securing a DFSA Category 4 licence, targeted for mid-2026 (subject to regulatory approvals), enabling Vault to provide regulated financial services.
