Ltd (“NCNE“) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU“) that aims at fostering the advancement of Dubai’s renewable energy infrastructure. The trilateral MoU is a first-of-its-kind partnership which joins forces of APAC’s leading multi-family office, a ruling royal family of Dubai and a leading EV infrastructure company.
