The World Blockchain Summit is back in Dubai at Atlantis The Palm
The World Blockchain Summit (WBS), the largest global series of blockchain, crypto and Web3 events, returns to Dubai on October 17 and 18 at Atlantis the Palm.
Held under the patronage of Sheikh Juma Ahmed Juma Al Maktoum, member of the ruling family of Dubai, WBS Dubai hosts the most influential thought leaders on blockchain, crypto, NFT, Web3 and Metaverse to explore the market’s effects on commerce, banking, games, culture and social development.
Dubai is known for its welcoming attitude towards crypto and blockchain technology. This is evident in its facilitation of crypto and blockchain technologies, making the city a great location for foreign companies looking to set up shop. This is further supported by the recent approval of the Dubai Virtual Asset Regulation Law which provides for a more crypto-friendly structure that promotes investment and growth in blockchain adoption. With over 6,000 millionaire residents, the country’s private wealth has risen to over $40 billion, making it a hotspot for investment as well.
“Dubai is the right place for innovation in the blockchain space. We are excited to work with WBS to achieve the vision set by the Government of Dubai on the Blockchain and Metaverse strategy,” commented Furqan Rassul, CEO of Elite Partner Investment.
WBS will bring enlightening sessions discussing the blockchain and crypto space in response to some of today’s most pressing questions in today’s industry. It will also feature panel discussions, industry highlights, case studies, fireside chats and more.
Mohammed Saleem, Founder and CEO of WBS, noted: “Dubai has perfectly positioned itself as one of the most crypto- and blockchain-friendly destinations in the world. With all the recent announcements around new crypto licenses being issued, the Dubai Metaverse Strategy and more, we are very excited to bring WBS back to Dubai in October as we host some of the world’s leading experts to share their insights and showcase the latest innovations in space.”
