IOTA Takes RWA Tokenization to the Middle East
In a blog post announcing the partnership, the Foundation revealed that it was proud to be associated with the Congress. The event is divided into ten tracks, each focusing on a different topic, from investment destinations and innovation to international partners and SMEs.
