Countdown to the World Blockchain Summit Dubai 2023 Begins!
Dubai is paving the way for a Web3 future by implementing a robust regulatory framework for digital assets and offering commercial licenses for Web3 projects.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, October 29, 2023 — The countdown has begun as the World Blockchain Summit returns, scheduled for November 1st-2nd, 2023, at the Address Dubai Marina, hosted by Trescon. This highly anticipated summit is set to become a major focal point for global web3 and blockchain innovators to take note of the region’s efforts towards a web3-driven future.
With strategic partners like Dubai AI & Web3 Campus by DIFC, the largest cluster of Artificial Intelligence and Web3 companies in MENA, the summit offers a platform for top-tier web3 investors, enterprises, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs to explore collaboration and investment opportunities while discussing the emerging trends and innovations shaping the industry.
Dubai’s established digital landscape, flourishing investment ecosystem, and innovative workforce create the perfect foundation for innovators and founders as we move beyond the challenges of the 2022 crypto winter. The UAE is playing a pivotal role by implementing initiatives such as the Central Bank Digital Currency Strategy, known as the Digital Dirham, establishing the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai, advancing the Dubai Blockchain Strategy, and launching the Dubai AI & Web3 Campus by DIFC. Notably, the campus announced specialized commercial licenses for AI and Web3 projects, further accelerating the adoption of blockchain solutions and the proliferation of digital assets within the economy.
The summit will unite over 2,000 web3 decision-makers and will also include the regional finale of the Startup World Cup, organized by the globally acclaimed US-based venture capital firm Pegasus Ventures. The winner of this competition will have the opportunity to present at the global finals held in San Francisco, with the chance to secure a funding prize of US$ 1 million.
