Fintastic Bahrain Week is just a few weeks away, and you don’t want to miss the impactful agenda that will see finance visionaries from across the globe descend on Bahrain to discuss technologies and innovations that are in the vanguard of redefining the financial services industry.
The financial sector across the Gulf finds itself at a pivotal moment in history. An explosion of FinTech innovation and trends like an increasing focus on FemTech empowerment have opened new pathways to business growth and consumer solutions. The Fintastic Bahrain Week events, including a keynote address and interactive discussion with legendary tech entrepreneur Steve Wozniak at the Euromoney GCC Financial Forum, will explore these and other topics that are reorienting the future of financial services.
Here is a taste of some of the Week’s events:
