Mubasher: Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) will host the DIFC FinTech Week during 28-29 June this year at DIFC’s Ritz Carlton in the UAE. Fintech players will be able to discuss future growth plans in financial services during the two-day event, according to a recent press release.

DIFC FinTech Week aims to help accelerate the adoption of next-gen technology solutions in the industry. Over 1,000 fintech developers, investment firms, banks, policymakers, and service providers are expected to attend the event.

The event will touch upon 10 key themes that represent the next phase of fintech, including Web 3.0, metaverse, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), crypto, blockchain, payments, embedded finance, open banking, regulatory technology (RegTech), as well as environmental, social, and governance (ESG).

The business gathering is supported by Amazon Payment Services as a presenting partner; Binance, Tamara, and Yap as gold sponsors; in addition to Baraka, Midchains, and Yoshi Markets as silver sponsors.

Arif Amiri, CEO of DIFC, said: “DIFC FinTech Week provides the ideal platform for influential contributors from the sector to come together and drive ideas forward to help accelerate growth and innovation.”

Last April, DIFC launched the world’s first venture studio platform in a bid to back comprehensive finance and digital asset technologies.
