Abdulsalam bin Mohammed Al Murshidi of Salasil al-Thiqa shared that his company has a strategy to provide services using blockchain technology. The company was founded with the objective of realizing the government's vision to accelerate business operations using cutting-edge technologies.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Salim Al Salmi, Executive Chairman of Capital Market Authority (CMA), emphasized the importance of blockchain technology in electronic polling, saying that it has become "inevitable necessity" as it enables shareholders to still be involved in polling sessions without the need to be physically present in case they can’t make it.
