About this Event
Brief on the congress:

The 3rd Annual Global Blockchain Congress is the only event in the MENA region to explore the opportunities and challenges of investing in digital currencies and assets.

The global market for blockchain was estimated at $708 million in 2017. It is anticipated to reach $60.7 billion in 2024. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve continuing growth as blockchain proves its value by managing digital transactions in real time across enterprise boundaries, encouraging collaborative business efforts. Lowering transaction management costs is a key benefit. After its inauspicious beginning, it is on the cusp of phenomenal growth, ready to reach $60 billion worldwide as it creates new digital economic infrastructure.

Dubai is at the heart of the blockchain phenomenon. The Dubai Blockchain Strategy, launched by His Highness Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan, was the result of collaboration between the Smart Dubai Office and the Dubai Future Foundation with the mission to continuously explore and evaluate the latest technology innovations in an effort to further improve the lifestyle of the city’s residents.
