The Global DeFi Congress is the first event in the MENA region dedicated to understanding Decentralized Finance.

The Global DeFi Congress leverages the experience gained through the hosting of 5 editions of the Global Blockchain Congress to ensure maximum return on investment for all our sponsors. It is the only event of its kind and it will bring together qualified investors (VCs, Private Equity Firms, Family Offices and High Networth Individuals) with DeFi Projects looking to raise funds.

This is not a conference nor an exhibition This is an exclusive, closed-door, congress between investors and hand-picked DeFi projects looking to raise funds.


The MENA region has shown tremendous increase in technology startup funding and it is the perfect place for blockchain projects to raise funds.

Startup founders from all over the world need financial advocates on their side. Raising funds and receiving funding is vital to the growth and success of startups. NOW is the right time for international startups to tap into a pool of highly engaged investors from the MENA region who are actively looking to invest in exciting and promising companies.
