Bahrain: Inaugural Edition of Fintech Forward to be Held in October
Bahrain is set to host the inaugural ‘Fintech Forward 2023’ (FF23) on October 12, 2023, bringing together global fintech and entrepreneurial players, financial institutions, investors, industry experts, and thought leaders.
The three-day event will be held in a strategic partnership with the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), with sponsorship from the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), and powered by Bahrain FinTech Bay (BFB). The event will also feature a host of immersive digital experiences, innovative activations, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
AI and digital technologies are dramatically reshaping all sectors of the economy and in response to global trends, such a fintech space can help grow the sub-sector under the financial services sector in Bahrain.
FF23 further aims to solidify the Kingdom as a destination for all things fintech, encouraging idea generation and investment support through impactful conversations and sessions tackling themes across three key pillars: innovation, regulation, and investment. Alongside an event in collaboration with the Economist Impact, innovative hackathons, entertainment events, and experiences will be held across several different locations around Bahrain.
In tandem with its digital agenda, Bahrain has achieved phenomenal progress in developing its human pool of talent, backed by a progressive government and sophisticated ICT infrastructure. FF23 aligns with the Kingdom’s vision of investing in digital transformation, expanding its fintech space, and top talent; to further fuel Bahrain’s fintech ecosystem forward.
