About Dubai FinTech Summit
Connecting ideas, markets, and opportunities
Dubai FinTech Summit stands as one of the world’s most influential platforms for financial innovation.
Hosted in Dubai, the event brings global leaders, regulators, investors, and pioneering FinTechs together to examine what’s next for finance and how the industry will evolve through new technology, policy, and collaboration.
As the fourth edition arrives in 2026, the Summit continues to strengthen Dubai’s role as a global financial hub – connecting ideas, markets, and opportunities across continents. With a strong focus on real-world outcomes, DFS convenes the people and institutions shaping the direction of banking, payments, digital assets, and financial inclusion. Designed for decision-makers, the Summit offers a space where strategic conversations meet actionable insights, enabling partnerships that influence global finance.
The Summit aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33’s strategic goal of propelling Dubai into the ranks of the top four global financial hubs by 2033
