Capital.com, the global trading platform, and ADGM Academy, the knowledge arm of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch a national initiative to advance financial literacy.
The MoU further focuses on expanding digital investment education, and building a future-ready Emirati talent pipeline. The program will begin to roll out in 2026 and forms part of a wider ambition to support the UAE’s long-term economic agenda.
Under the MoU, Capital.com will provide 100 internships over the next five years. These placements will be offered not only within Capital.com, but also through partner organizations across the UAE’s wider financial ecosystem, giving emerging talent access to diverse, high-impact learning environments.
Capital.com has prioritized investor education since its inception. This partnership with ADGM academy will tap into its vast library of training resources to craft specialized programs, co-develop thought leadership, and build new learning tools aligned with We the UAE 2031 and the UAE Centennial 2071.
The partnership will also directly support the goals of the newly launched UAE National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) 2026-2030, developed by the Central Bank of the UAE with contributions from the World Bank, OECD, Arab Monetary Fund and more than 70 UAE stakeholders.
The agreement outlines several areas of cooperation, such as forming a joint working group to design and deliver training programs, sharing research and publications, and co-hosting seminars on fintech, regulation, trading, and financial management.
The organizations will also conduct regular training needs analyses to ensure initiatives remain aligned with industry demands and workforce priorities.
