The leading congress in the MENA region to explore the opportunities and challenges of implementing real-life applications of blockchain technology and investing in digital currencies and assets.

This is not a conference or an exhibition. This is an exclusive, closed-door, congress between Solution Providers of blockchain technology and hand-picked Corporate Buyers looking for partners to help them migrate their technology into blockchain, and between ICO's and STO's looking for funding and institutional investors from all over the world.

The global market for blockchain was estimated at $708 million in 2017. It is anticipated to reach $60.7 billion in 2024.

Worldwide markets are poised to achieve continuing growth as blockchain proves its value by managing digital transactions in real time across enterprise boundaries, encouraging collaborative business efforts. Lowering transaction management costs is a key benefit. After its inauspicious beginning, it is on the cusp of phenomenal growth, ready to reach $60 billion worldwide as it creates new digital economic infrastructure.

Dubai is at the heart of the blockchain phenomenon. The Dubai Blockchain Strategy, launched by His Highness Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan, was the result of collaboration between the Smart Dubai Office and the Dubai Future Foundation with the mission to continuously explore and evaluate the latest technology innovations in an effort to further improve the lifestyle of the city’s residents. The strategy’s aim is to give an economic edge to all sectors and position Dubai as a leader in global technology.

The Global Blockchain Congress aims to significantly contribute to the advancement of blockchain technology in the Arab World by providing a unique platform that will connect regulators, Investors, business leaders, government officials and disruptors in a cutting edge conference agenda and via pre-arranged one-to-one meetings between buyers and vendors of blockchain technology solutions and between Investors and ICOs.

If you are a company that builds blockchain solutions – this event is for you!
