The investment division of international business group RedCore is joining AIBC Eurasia to connect with ambitious founders and tech teams. The summit runs February 23–25 at Dubai Festival City — find the team at booth 3D.

Investments at RedCore focuses on ventures in MarTech/Traffic, FinTech, RegTech, Web3, Gaming software vendors, and AI/ML. The team is especially interested in meeting game content suppliers, RegTech solution providers, and creators of AI-driven digital products.

RedCore’s investment philosophy centers on M&A and strategic partnership rather than traditional venture funding. The business group steps in as an active partner, not a passive investor. Portfolio companies gain access to experienced specialists, legal and operational support, technology infrastructure, proven marketing channels, and a broad industry network. Often, RedCore becomes a startup’s first customer — shortening the road to market validation. Where other founders spend years chasing product-market fit, RedCore-backed teams can land their first paying clients within three to six months.

The ideal project has a working MVP, early commercial traction, transparent unit economics, and global scaling ambitions. In exchange, RedCore offers not just capital — but a long-term strategic partnership built on shared expertise and active involvement in business growth.
