We are proud to reveal our plans to establish a new independent, regulated foundation to be headquartered in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This move underlines our commitment to the UAE and our ambitions to grow IOTA’s reach and importance around the globe. Over the coming weeks, we will share specific details about the entity, its structure, and governance with the community.The purpose of this entity is to become one of the primary organizations to foster the growth, adoption, and global expansion of IOTA. As we open up a new chapter with IOTA, we need to match technology with the right support to establish IOTA as a global ecosystem. We can only do this by operating out of the right environment. We are convinced that the UAE will offer IOTA the best environment to realize its global ambitions.Establishing an additional headquarters for IOTA is a step to further decentralize the governance of IOTA. IOTA will only succeed if it is a globally distributed, open, permissionless, and impartial digital infrastructure. We want IOTA to be a public goods infrastructure that will power our digital society and economy. With the new foundation in Abu Dhabi, we are confident that we will achieve this vision of the future.<h3 id="pioneering-a-new-era">Pioneering a new era</h3>As we embark on this exciting endeavor, we are proud to declare that we are poised to become one of the leading DLT entities to operate in the UAE.
