digital exchanges and this trend will be noticeable over the course of 2018. Reacting to the honour bestowed upon Evareium, Stefan Hickmott, CEO of Evarei expressed his delight and stressed the importance of being recognized by one’s peers. He said, “We engineered Evareium to be a complete, digitalized ecosystem investment model. We hope it will define a turning point in the global real estate investment

We can only show our appreciation for this recognition by reaffirming our commitment to widening such technological boundaries.” Andrew Rowlstone, Head of Investor Relations, Evarei, added “Our gratitude goes to International Finance for recognizing our efforts, as well as the entire Evareium team and our many advisors, each of whom have been instrumental in forming Evareium and making this such an inspiring project.” Hickmott stated that the company is currently launching an Initial Token Offering (ITO) to raise funds through the issuance of EVM tokens, which represent a beneficial interest in the Evareium fund and are disseminated via blockchain technology. Elaborating on the new premise, Stefan further said, “Fully integrating blockchain technology is a key objective of Smart Dubai’s 2020 government vision for example. Today, a significant number of governments on the global stage are following the same lead with the aim of integrating full digitalization

And it will be facilitated in an instantaneous, digitalized, secure manner, opposing
