Abu Dhabi was chosen as the host city for the first awards due to the UAE leadership’s commitment to progression and innovation in blockchain and digital transformation.
The UAE as a whole has made significant moves towards the regulation, security and transparency of blockchain and digital assets, driving the importance of global standards for industry compliance that will benefit all aspects of Web 3.0.
This forward-thinking approach has attracted many global players to establish their presence in the emirates, creating a strong ecosystem that contributes to its reputation as a hub for crypto and beyond.
“Blockchain is creating a digital ecosystem that will support a new world of services and products ranging from financial services to the real economy. The Middle East Blockchain Awards will help drive innovation, reward excellence and provide a benchmark for businesses to aspire to and by doing it contributes significantly to the regional ecosystem.”
Jehanzeb Awan, Board Member of MEAACBA, Founding Partner, and Managing Director of J. Awan and Partners
