Geidea has become the latest sponsor of the Dubai FinTech Summit, a platform it will use to call for a harmonised regulatory framework in the GCC to further increase investor confidence, promote innovation, and drive growth in the industry.

Taking place on 8 and 9 May under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai; Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the UAE; and President of the Dubai International Financial Centre, the summit will convene 5,000 global FinTech and technology experts to discuss innovations and challenges in the sector, as well as connect start-ups, investors and industry leaders.

During the summit, the company will showcase products, including a newly launched point of sale (PoS).

“We are delighted to have the support of one of the Middle East’s leading financial services companies,” said Mohammad Alblooshi, Head of DIFC Innovation Hub and FinTech Hive.

“The Dubai FinTech Summit will be a truly global platform, gathering the world’s FinTech community to help shape the future of this rapidly growing sector. As well as providing our partners and participants with an opportunity to showcase their latest innovations, the summit will enable thought leaders to debate, exchange ideas and make important connections, including with investors. We are looking forward to welcoming the global FinTech industry to Dubai, which is reaffirming its position as a global FinTech hub.”

Organised by DIFC, the leading international financial hub in the (MEASA) region, the summit will spotlight all things impacting the future of finance – from Web 3.0, metaverse and blockchain to decentralised finance, regulation and policymaking, and the greater need for increased financial inclusivity. Visitors will also be able to meet more than 100 FinTech exhibitors and join a series of panels and fireside chats. The Dubai FinTech Summit will take place at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai.
