DOHA, Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RedCloud Holdings plc (Nasdaq: RCT) (“RedCloud” or the “Company”), the company building intelligent infrastructure for global trade announced and signed its second Joint Venture to deploy RedAI in Türkiye, with a minimum contract value of $5m per year over ten years, to transform the country’s $166Bn1 market for Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). The joint venture agreement was signed on stage at World Summit AI in front of a delegation from the AI Trust Foundation.
RedCloud believes the Turkish FMCG market faces the same systemic inefficiencies and waste seen across the globe, resulting in an estimated $22Bn trillion inventory gap2 in Türkiye, where consumer demand for everyday products is mismatched with inventory and stock, due to outdated practices and lack of aggregated trading data and insight across supply chains.
RedCloud Türkiye, will be headquartered in Istanbul and is expected to launch operations in the first quarter of 2026, deploying the Company’s RedAI trading platform and intelligence capabilities with businesses spanning from manufacture to retail. The Company believes RedCloud Türkiye will be able to leverage RedCloud’s future global developments in the use of AI and associated supply chain models through RedAI.
“Supply chains are burning $2Tn each year. We are very excited about entering this joint venture to bring AI and algorithmic trading to Turkish supply chains at World Summit AI and in front of a delegation from the AI Trust Foundation,” said Justin Floyd, CEO & Co-Founder of RedCloud. “Following the recent announcement and signing of our joint venture in Saudi Arabia this second partnership in the Middle East demonstrates our ability to scale intelligence infrastructure across the world, where AI-powered trading exchange technology, similar to that used on Wall Street, will preen.”
Mehmet Bostan, joint venture partner founding CEO of RedCloud Türkiye, added, “Through this partnership, we are deploying state of the art intelligence infrastructure to unlock Turkish supply chains, driving economic growth, resilience, and efficiency. Retailers will gain access to improved supply and choice, while manufacturers and distributors will receive the critical market data and insights necessary to expand, grow market share and profitability. The potential of this AI powered technology is undeniable, and we are eager to begin our transformation of the Turkish FMCG industry.”
RedCloud’s Justin Floyd is also part of the delegation of the AI Trust Foundation at the World Summit AI, visiting Qatar to advance cross-border collaboration on AI, responsible innovation, and bilateral trade and investment between the United States and its allies, Qatar, and the Middle East Region. “The agreement we are signing today is a great example of how, transformative AI can be deployed to unlock performance of industries and supply chains, benefiting ordinary consumers as well as businesses. Transforming everyday industries to drive prosperity and reduce waste, is perhaps one of the most valuable future applications of this incredible technology,” added Floyd in his role as board member of the AI Trust Foundation, and delegation member at the event. “I am delighted to be able to sign this important AI-focused agreement at the event to demonstrate the commercialization of AI technologies.”
