- Food Security / Green Agri / Vertical Farming: The UAE is investing in modern agriculture as part of its food security strategy. Vertical farming is growing, reducing water use and enabling local production. (TechSci Research)
- Renewable Energy & Green Factor: The UAE is ramping up solar and renewables projects, aiming to generate much of its power from clean sources. (Ministry of Economy)

CredibleX Products: Sector-Specific Applications
Trading & Retail
A UAE-based trading SME imports electronics. They send invoices to regional buyers with 60-day terms. With Invoice Discounting, CredibleX advances 80% of invoice value immediately. The SME uses that cash to import more stock and scale.
IT / Automation Services
A company providing automation solutions to factories gets recurring monthly contracts. But between project phases, revenue dips. They use RBF to bridge the gap, repaying more when revenue returns high.
Food Security / Vertical Farming
A green agriculture startup running vertical farms in the UAE invests heavily in LED systems and hydroponics. Using Payable Financing, CredibleX pays the vendor, and the farm repays once produce is sold. Vertical farming is expected to grow in the UAE market with CAGR ~4% by 2028. (TechSci Research)
Renewable Energy
A solar installation firm wins contracts with industrial clients. They need capital to buy panels in bulk. CredibleX’s Invoice Discounting or Payable Financing fills the gap. The UAE offers CAPEX finance for solar projects through government programs. (Emirates Development Bank)
F&B
A chain of fast-casual restaurants wants to expand. Seasonal demand, ingredient costs, and staffing cycles require smart cash flow. They use RBF or Payable Financing to manage operations without stressing margins.
