The firm will focus on early-stage opportunities in artificial intelligence (<a href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/openai-partners-with-los-alamos-lab-to-advance-ai-in-bioscience-research\/\">AI<\/a>), blockchain technologies, chips and data.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Creek Digital plans to expand its regional footprint in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC). The firm is holding meetings with sovereign and institutional investors, company officials and industry experts in these regions. It is also in contact with US-based investors and partners.<\/p>\n<p>The firm predicts that EMEA and APAC will be the leaders of the technology in the future, significantly increasing their investments in AI and blockchain. \u201cWith Web3&#8217;s global reach, MCD will spend more time in international markets to connect with top CEOs and partners,\u201d said Mark Yusko, General Partner at Morgan Creek Digital.<\/p>\n<p>The new fund will invest in Web3&#8217;s &#8220;ABCDs&#8221; &#8211; companies that aim to extract value from data by combining the power of artificial intelligence, blockchain technology and related chips. The firm prefers to invest in industry-cutting technologies, such as high-performance chips that can be used in AI training or bitcoin mining.<\/p>\n<p>The firm predicts that APAC countries will almost triple their generative AI investments to $3.4 billion in 2024, and EMEA digital budgets could increase by 40% for AI, generating an additional $30 billion in net investment by 2025. \u201cThe Middle East in particular is experiencing a renaissance with new advanced technology,\u201d Yusko said.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Creek Digital has raised over $440 million in funding since 2018 and has approximately 80 equity positions. This new fund reflects the firm&#8217;s goals of becoming a leader in technological innovation and expanding global investment opportunities.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
