Dubai, United Arab Emirates: The RFI Foundation, the first global nonprofit principally dedicated to connecting the responsible finance and Islamic finance markets, has opened applications for its Responsible Finance FinTech Program. The successful cohort-based training program, which was launched in 2021 with support from HSBC, aims to help more FinTech companies in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT) understand and adopt responsible finance practices.

The fifth cohort of 12 FinTech companies will start in May 2023 and is delivered by RFI staff and industry experts. Coming on the heels of the successful conclusion of the fourth cohort, the program consists of a 10-week intensive training course. It will include interactive discussions, group activities and help get participants started applying what they’re learning to their company.

The Responsible Finance FinTech Program covers a range of topics, including sustainability, responsible finance and impact strategy delivered in a way to enable participants to build practical experience relevant to their company’s activities.

"We are thrilled to bring back this program for a new cohort of FinTech companies in the MENAT region," said Blake Goud, CEO of RFI Foundation. "Previous cohort participants have shown significant progress in building their knowledge and confidence to apply responsible finance
