Proud to share that Vista has established an office in Abu Dhabi within ADGM, the city's international financial center. Enterprise software is entering its most dynamic era. As Enterprise Agentic Solutions are seeking to reshape how businesses operate and compete, the companies that embed intelligence into mission-critical workflows could define the next era of value creation. The Middle East, and Abu Dhabi in particular, has demonstrated extraordinary ambition in building the digital infrastructure to lead in this new landscape. We look forward to engaging with Abu Dhabi's broader innovation landscape, connecting our portfolio companies with the market, ecosystem partners and growth opportunities emerging across the region. I had the pleasure of connecting with H.E. Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM, at Milken and look forward to what lies ahead. https://bwnews.pr/4uOfFEv
