TimesNewswire / March 13, 2026 – Recently, the financial technology service provider Slickorps Ventures (Cayman) and the Middle Eastern investment institution Royal Group Capital have officially completed the signing of a cooperation agreement. This signing was completed against the backdrop of Slickorps Ventures establishing its global headquarters in the Cayman Islands and advancing its international development. It signifies the establishment of a long-term cooperative relationship between the two parties in the directions of artificial intelligence financial technology, compliance governance, and global market expansion.
The signing ceremony was held in the Cayman Islands. Mr. Oliver St. John, director of Slickorps Ventures Cayman, representing the group, and His Excellency Sheikh Faisal bin Saeed Al Maktoum, member of the UAE royal family and the current Chairman of the foundation under Royal Group Capital, jointly signed the strategic investment agreement.
Charles C. Harrington, Marketing Director of Slickorps Ventures US, and Mr. Tariq Al-Fayed, Chief Investment Officer of Royal Group Capital, also attended and witnessed the signing ceremony.
It is understood that this investment amounts to 700 million US dollars, which will be specifically allocated to support Slickorps Ventures in its global research and development of artificial intelligence financial technology, the construction of compliance systems, and market expansion.
As mutually confirmed, the collaboration will focus on the long-term application of AI technology in the financial sector: Slickorps Ventures will continue to deepen its core technical capabilities centered on artificial intelligence models, quantitative analysis, and risk management, promoting their stable implementation in real-world financial scenarios; Royal Group Capital will leverage its capital and experience in the Middle East and international markets to provide ongoing strategic support and resource synergy.
Mr. Oliver St. John, director of Slickorps Ventures (Cayman), stated that this signing represents a crucial step following the establishment of the global headquarters for the company in the Cayman Islands. As the company advances its business across different regional markets, establishing stable cooperative relationships with international capital possessing a long-term perspective will help it maintain consistency in compliance governance, market cadence, and risk control.
Mr. Tariq Al-Fayed, Chief Investment Officer of Royal Group Capital, noted that the technological maturity, prudent approach to risk, and clear long-term development path demonstrated by Slickorps Ventures in the field of AI finance were key factors in facilitating this collaboration. He stated that Royal Group Capital places greater emphasis on whether a company possesses the capability for stable development across different market environments, rather than on the pace of short-term expansion.
The presence of His Excellency Sheikh Faisal bin Saeed Al Maktoum also reflects the importance that investors place on the long-term value of artificial intelligence financial infrastructure. Both parties agree that, at a time when global fintech is gradually moving toward standardization and rational development, establishing transparent and stable cooperative relationships between technology-driven institutions and long-term capital holds positive significance for the overall development of the industry.
The completion of this cooperation agreement signing not only further solidifies the cooperation foundation of Slickorps Ventures in the international fintech field, but also provides crucial support for its subsequent efforts to promote the standardized application of artificial intelligence financial technology across different markets. Both parties expressed that, under the established cooperation framework, they will steadily advance follow-up work and continuously focus on balancing technological security, compliance governance, and long-term value.
