The Centre for Finance, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CFTE), a global leader in future-focused executive education, has entered into a strategic partnership with Changer AE, a premium crypto custodian regulated by Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing responsible leadership and informed participation in the digital economy.

The agreement was signed in Abu Dhabi by CFTE Co-Founder Huy Nguyen Trieu and Changer AE Senior Executive Officer Wang Hao, CFA.

This announcement builds on a successful collaboration in February 2025, when CFTE and Changer AE co-delivered a tailored training programme on blockchain and digital assets for the C-suite and employees of DAS Holding, one of the UAE’s leading diversified investment groups. The initiative focused on strengthening strategic understanding of emerging technologies and their potential impact on business and finance.

As part of the partnership, CFTE and Changer AE will explore opportunities to collaborate on initiatives that support executive education, industry awareness, and knowledge sharing in the evolving digital finance landscape. The aim is to empower leaders and institutions with the insights needed to navigate emerging technologies and regulatory developments with confidence.

“Changer, ADGM’s trusted and regulated digital asset custodian, empowers clients to securely exchange crypto and fiat, as well as safeguard their assets. Our partnership with CFTE will deepen industry knowledge and help corporates confidently embrace blockchain and digital finance—driving real innovation and growth in the UAE and beyond.”

As the financial landscape continues to evolve, this partnership positions CFTE and Changer AE at the forefront of thought leadership — helping institutions navigate innovation with confidence and clarity.
