Sarine Technologies Ltd has announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with the DELGATTO Diamond Finance Fund (DDFF).

David Block, CEO of Sarine Technologies, commented, “I am confident that the DDFF will now be able to increase the capital it injects into the market in a way that will create additional opportunities for the entire industry, in general, and particularly our many mutual clients.”
