Today, Wamid, the innovation arm of the Saudi Tadawul Group, announced the launch of “Liqaa”, a stakeholder meeting platform. "Liqaa" offers listed and non-listed companies, corporations and governmental entities a secure online platform to conduct hybrid meetings with a suite of services before, after and during meeting, including livestream, E-voting, translation, and Q&A services for AGM as well as earning calls and IPO meetings.
The new platform “Liqaa” will help to facilitate a seamless hybrid meeting experience where audiences can participate irrespective of their physical location, while providing organizations with meaningful opportunities to engage with stakeholders on an intuitive platform.
The “Liqaa” platform is being released in partnership with Lumi, widely recognized as the leading global provider of AGM and stakeholder meeting technology.
Speaking on the launch, Mohammed Al Nory, CEO of Wamid said, “The launch of Liqaa marks another step in Wamid’s efforts to providing cutting edge technologies, transforming the way we do business in the region. Liqaa is a key addition to our suite of add-on products for listed and non-listed companies, corporations, and government entities.
