  • The authorisation also issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain, is the first of its kind in the world
  • The company also raised some US$4.7 million in pre-seed investment from strategic backers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia
  • Fasset aims to address climate change acceleration by bridging the sustainable infrastructure funding gap estimated by the World Economic Forum
