The Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX) has partnered with Ajman University to embark on a strategic collaboration that will enable the exchange of expertise as well as foster the development of professionals across the financial sector.

As part of the MoU, both organizations will exchange knowledge, host joint events such as conferences and lectures, and provide one another with access to academic and professional platforms in mutual areas of interest.

As part of the agreement, the DGCX will also train two students from Ajman University during each semester as well as summer period. The training will provide students with hands-on work experience, enhancing their knowledge around the financial sector and providing them with in-depth insight into how the exchange operates, as well as its role in enhancing the capital markets.
