FinTech Summit in Dubai 2025 Focuses on Worldwide Innovations and Financial Inclusion for All
The Dubai FinTech Summit 2025 is set to take centre stage as a global forum for FinTech innovation, taking place on 12 and 13 May at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai. This prestigious event, organised by the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), is poised to shape the future of finance, attracting over 8,000 participants, 300 speakers, 1,000+ investors, and attendees from more than 100 countries.
The Summit will feature the FinTech World Cup, offering start-ups a unique opportunity to pitch their ideas to global investors. Additionally, dedicated pavilions will be set up for countries and companies to showcase cutting-edge solutions.
Notable speakers at the Dubai FinTech Summit 2025 include Marko Primorac (Croatia), Gilles Roth (Luxembourg), Timothy Adams (IIF, USA), Tony O. Elumelu (Nigeria), and Vijay Shekhar Sharma (India). Recently, it was announced that Dr. Amir Tabch, CEO – Financial Services & Fintech, will be the key speaker for the event.
The agenda for the Summit will focus on themes such as AI-driven financial services, blockchain advancements, digital banking, regulatory compliance, and cross-border investment trends. The Summit aligns with Dubai's ambition to become one of the world's top four financial centres by 2033, as outlined in the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
For the first time, the Future Sustainability Forum will be integrated into the Dubai FinTech Summit 2025, reflecting the Summit's focus on accessibility and inclusivity. Strategic partners for the event include Emirates NBD, Commercial Bank of Dubai, and Alibaba Cloud.
It is worth noting that the Unchained Summit 2025 in Dubai, a related fintech/blockchain event, features prominent speakers such as Eowyn Chen (CEO of Trust Wallet), Andrew Vranjes (CRO of Blockdaemon), Mark Rydon (Co-founder & CSO of Aethir), and several other industry leaders. However, these appear tied to the Unchained Summit rather than the Dubai FinTech Summit.
