The “Fintech and Innovation Resources Summit” returns to Dubai for a new edition.

Dubai, UAE, April 15, 2026(Web Desk):: Mawarid Finance is organizing the third edition of the Mawarid Fintech and Innovation Summit on April 23, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Dubai Convention and Exhibition Centre, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The summit will bring together leading experts and stakeholders from the financial services, regulatory, and digital innovation sectors, and aims to highlight the next phase of growth anticipated in the rapidly evolving fintech sector in the UAE.

This summit quickly evolved into a global platform distinguished by the practical implementation of its dialogue sessions, as evidenced by the remarkable success of previous editions. This year’s program focuses on collaboration, business resources, and scalable innovation—principles that align with the ambitious vision of the United Arab Emirates and its relentless pursuit of a leading global position in financial technology, digital transformation, and all related sectors.

The event is expected to draw between 800 and 1,000 of the region’s and the world’s leading decision-makers, along with representatives from over 500 institutions. This gathering of fintech founders, banks, investors, and financial policymakers aims to foster effective networking and explore new opportunities within the fintech ecosystem, both locally and globally.

One of the key features of the third edition of this summit is the increased exhibition space, accommodating approximately 40 exhibitors, in addition to the active participation of leading sponsors. The program also includes the launch of a specialized innovation and financial technology lab, offering participants an unprecedented interactive opportunity to explore the latest emerging technologies and solutions, as well as the next generation of financial services. Furthermore, structured networking sessions will be held to facilitate meaningful connections between companies and institutions, while an exclusive VIP roundtable will bring together regulators and industry leaders to discuss the current state and future of financial infrastructure, compliance regulations, digital inclusion, integrated finance, and related topics.

Commenting on the upcoming summit, Rashid Al Qubaisi, CEO of Mawarid Finance, said: “This summit embodies the growing desire for purposeful innovation and practical collaboration among stakeholders in the region, with a particular focus on transforming ideas into viable partnerships, tangible products, and concrete progress.” He added: “As the UAE strengthens its leading position as a global hub for fintech innovation, the Mawarid Fintech and Innovation Summit will undoubtedly play a pivotal role once again in building a more cohesive, impactful, and forward-looking financial ecosystem.”
