As a small landlocked country nestled between India and China, Bhutan has long been known for its stunning Himalayan mountains and 'Gross National Happiness' initiative. However, Bhutan is eager to be recognized beyond these narrow boundaries, aiming to become a key player in the global economy.
With a modest sovereign wealth fund of $3 billion, managed by CEO Ujjwal Deep Dahal, Bhutan is banking on innovation, green energy, and alternative investments, such as cryptocurrency, to catapult it into the forefront of modern industry trends.
Bhutan's unique circumstances, with an abundance of hydropower and low emissions, make it an attractive location for forward-thinking companies seeking to pioneer sustainable technologies. CEO Dahal envisions Druk Holdings and Investments (DHI) as the ideal platform to collaborate with innovators and explore 'interesting technologies', with the goal of making them commercially viable.
