   XML Global Receives GSA Approval to Provide Products and 
            Services to the US Federal Government
---------------------------------------------------------------

New York, N.Y., February 25th, 2002 - XML Global Technologies, 
Inc. (OTC BB: XMLG), an XML middleware company, announced today 
that it has been awarded approval from the General Services 
Administration (GSA) to sell its breakthrough XML-based products
and services directly to the US government. Federal business 
development offices, offices of electronic commerce, government
strategic planning/marketing and IT offices can now obtain 
products and services from XML Global without having to tender
for a competitive bid.

As one of the first XML product vendors to sell directly to US
federal agencies, collectively the biggest purchasers of goods
and services in the US, XML Global is well positioned to tap
into the huge government customer base and to continue gaining
momentum in the emerging XML market. XML Global Technologies 
has already completed work for several government agencies 
including the US Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) 
and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). 

The GSA approval represents a significant step in XML Global 
Technologies Inc.'s strategy to provide government e-Business 
solutions by adapting the company's core XML product range to 
the unique needs of government. XML Global's public sector 
expertise, combined with its knowledge of the unique business 
needs of the federal government, are key to providing the 
level of service and commitment needed to successfully win 
and complete government engagements.

The GSA, a central management agency in the federal government,
is focused on enabling federal employees to access supplies, 
services and solutions at the best possible value. In working 
with the GSA, XML Global has negotiated fixed pricing for 
government buyers that guarantees them specific rates on its 
technology offerings. In so doing, the government is now allowed
to work with XML Global directly for purchase requests of up 
to $500,000 for software, $500,000 for IT Professional Services
and $25,000 for training. Without a GSA contract in place, 
government agencies must make open invitations for bids and 
evaluate competitive proposals.

"We anticipate an increase in sales and business activity as 
a result of this GSA approval," said Gordon Ebanks, Executive 
Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for XML Global, "and we
look forward to working closely with the US federal government
on a wide range of XML based e-Business initiatives."
