Diginex, a Hong Kong-based impact technology company helping to solve the world’s most pressing ESG and sustainability challenges, closed a $6m Series A funding.
The round – bringing the total amount raised to over $8m – was led by Fitch Ventures, the equity investment arm of Fitch Group.
The company intends to use the funds to continue development of its blockchain-enabled SaaS products as well as deepen its global digital distribution channels.
