Edge Group, a leader in advanced technology and defense, has entered into a strategic partnership with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the UAE’s largest bank. This agreement covers two major financial initiatives, which include the implementation of an advanced supply chain financing solution at FAB and the adoption of an AI-enhanced treasury management system.
Hamad Al Merri, the Managing Director and CEO of Edge Group, stated, “Our partnership with First Abu Dhabi Bank serves as a strategic enabler to fulfill the global ambitions of Edge Group. This collaboration strengthens the financial structure needed to operate on a broader scale with speed and agility. It ensures our continued adaptability, solid capitalization, and readiness to sustain international growth in the face of an increasingly competitive and complex environment.”
Martin Tricco, Head of Corporate and Institutional Banking at FAB, remarked, “The alliance between FAB and Edge Group marks a significant step towards fostering a more resilient supplier ecosystem. We recognize the vital importance of efficient cash flow and supply chain financing as fundamental components of sustainable business models. By integrating our global expertise with innovative financial solutions, we aim to enhance financial flexibility and contribute to long-term value generation.”
Through FAB’s digital supply chain financing solution, Edge enables both local and international suppliers to access early and cost-effective financing, which boosts supplier confidence, improves commercial terms, and ensures continuity across critical operations. Additionally, Edge’s implementation of FAB’s AI-enhanced treasury management system represents the largest reliance to date. This solution offers immediate cash insights, advanced forecasting capabilities, and integrated risk management tools, empowering Edge to automate treasury operations and enhance liquidity across the organization. The platform provides protection against interest rate and foreign exchange risks while improving financial flexibility and investment planning.
Rodrigo Torres, CFO of Edge Group, emphasized, “This partnership embodies Edge’s commitment to integrating financial evolution and innovation at the core of our operations. We are confident that the integration of advanced supply chain financing platforms and FAB’s AI-enhanced treasury management system will enable us to improve liquidity flow, supplier performance, and enhance our risk management capabilities, allowing us to continue growing with confidence. To date, invoices exceeding AED 1.6 billion have been processed, unlocking over AED 1.2 billion in off-balance-sheet financing. These solutions facilitate immediate cash control, intelligent forecasting, and stronger financial governance throughout the group, which are essential components for supporting our growth strategy and long-term industrial goals.
