Investment insights platform BridgeWise secures Emirates NBD backing

Dubai: BridgeWise, the investment insights service platform, has locked in a ‘strategic’ investment from Emirates NBD.

The UAE financial institution took part in BridgeWise’s Series A funding round alongside investors such as the Swiss and Brazilian stock exchanges. The deal ‘signals robust regional confidence in the company’s mission to reshape digital investing with explainable AI’, said a statement.
The funding also ties in neatly with BridgeWise securing an operational license from DIFC.

Founded in 2019, BridgeWise uses proprietary Generative AI and machine learning to deliver ‘explainable, regulatory-compliant investment insights across 90% of listed global equities and ETFs’. This is available in multiple language, including Arabic and Turkish. Clients include more than 50 institutional partners.
According to Ayush Khatri, regional Head at BridgeWise, “With our DIFC license and the strategic backing of Emirates NBD, we’re committed to partnering with financial institutions across the region to deliver next-generation, AI-driven investment solutions.”

The DIFC license allows BridgeWise to serve banks, wealth managers, institutional investors, and trading platforms in the region. The UAE launch follows its expansion in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America.
