Highlighting the impact of the growing FinTech sector in the region, Mohammad Alblooshi, Head of DIFC Innovation Hub and FinTech Hive said: "The demand for FinTech services has grown significantly in the last few years, powered by digital technologies and innovation across sectors. In recent years, DIFC has successfully cemented its position as the finance and innovation hub in the MEASA region by offering the most comprehensive FinTech and venture capital environments.

He added: "I'm confident that the Dubai FinTech Summit, organised by DIFC, will soon become the premier platform allowing us to capture the industry's attention and fulfil our vision of making Dubai a new home for the future of FinTech and finance.
"Dubai's work in the digital asset space, in the last few years, has been nothing short of remarkable.
