Dubai is once again preparing to take center stage in the global financial technology arena with the return of the Dubai FinTech Summit (DFS) 2025, set for May 12–13 at Madinat Jumeirah. Under the esteemed patronage of H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance, UAE, and President of DIFC, this third edition of DFS is not just an event—it’s a declaration of Dubai’s commitment to shaping the future of finance.
Backed by the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which envisions the emirate becoming one of the world’s top four global financial hubs by 2033, DFS 2025 will bring together over 300 global speakers, 200+ exhibitors, and thousands of attendees from across 100 countries. With the theme "FinTech for All", the summit emphasizes accessibility, sustainability, and innovation across the financial ecosystem.
A Platform of Purpose and Progress
The previous edition of the summit made waves, catalyzing 50+ MoUs, sparking significant investments, and highlighting Dubai’s unique position as a gateway between East and West. This year, DFS aims to go even further by focusing on themes that resonate globally: from AI and blockchain to financial inclusion and ESG integration.
At the heart of the event lies a simple yet powerful idea: FinTech should serve everyone.
