Executive vice president, DIFC Fintech Hive
With 50 per cent of all fintech businesses within the UAE operating out of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), DIFC Fintech Hive – which serves as an accelerator to fintech, insurtech, regtech and Islamic fintech firms – tripled its operating space in the first half of 2020. Al Mazrouei has previously worked at Dubai Holding and the National Bond Corporation, and is now steering Fintech Hive in a new strategic direction by opening to markets such as Israel. Fintech Hive can also lean on other programmes such as the $100m DIFC Fintech Fund and the DIFC Innovation Hub which allows fintechs to avail of the ‘Innovation Testing Licence’ regulatory sandbox.
