Fintech is a phrase becoming increasingly prevalent in today’s hyper-connected business world. Many global experts expect that somewhere between 2 to 6 million jobs will be lost over the next decade due to some of the technologies within this space, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain. With 72% of all FinTech startups hailing from four main MENA nations, and the UAE being amongst these, there is a regional drive to become the main FinTech hub. Dubai is leading the way with the recent introducing of the HIVE accelerator within the DIFC, and supporting many ground breaking tech firms in locating their regional base within Dubai.
