Saudi Arabia is setting the stage for the future of fintech

The GCC is abuzz as Riyadh prepares to host 24 Fintech, a premier event set to showcase the best of the fintech landscape in the region and beyond.

The event takes place from September 3-5, 2024, and major global players have already taken notice, with key sponsors for the event including the likes of VISA, J.P. Morgan Payments, Mozn, and many more.

The event is expected to attract 26,000 attendees, 300 exhibitors, 200 investors, 80 start-ups, and host up to 175 hours of expert-led content.

Attendees are expected to include banking industry executives, payment providers, regtech and compliance experts, insurtech companies, AI and machine learning experts, cybersecurity companies, wealth tech and robo advisors, lending and crowdfunding companies and financial inclusion players, among many more.

A key reason behind the event happening in Riyadh is that Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 has become a driving force behind the country’s rapid technological and economic transformation.

24 Fintech 2024 aligns with these objectives, offering a unique opportunity to highlight the kingdom’s progress in fostering a vibrant FinTech ecosystem, say the event’s organisers.

“Saudi Arabia’s commitment to creating a supportive environment for FinTech growth is truly commendable. 24 Fintech 2024 is a testament to the kingdom’s vision and its dedication to driving forward FinTech,” says Annabelle Mander, senior vice president at Tahaluf (one of the organising partners of 24 Fintech).
