Future World Forum Fintech & crypto
Digital finance under the UAE's regulatory framework — blockchain applications, decentralised finance and where investment is going in virtual assets.
Programme
What the forum covers
Future World Forum Dubai publishes its programme as five sectors rather than a timetable. One day, 10:00–17:30, on 16 November 2026. Below is each sector in the organiser's own framing, condensed, with what it means in practice for the people who show up.
The five sectors
AI & data-driven solutions
Artificial intelligence and analytics applied to forecasting, operational efficiency, cybersecurity and sustainable development.
PropTech & smart real estate
Digital twins for urban planning, smart buildings, and financing models for property investment in Dubai.
Cyber resilient cities
Protecting interconnected urban systems and the data they run on, for both public bodies and businesses in the region.
Smart infrastructure & mobility
Intelligent transport, mobility-as-a-service, clean utilities and the move to a circular economy.
No session times, speakers or exhibitor list have been published.
As of 28 August 2026 the sectors above are the whole of the published
programme. A one-day event usually settles its running order six to eight
weeks out; this page is updated when that appears.
Who it is addressed to
The organiser names its intended audience explicitly, which is more useful than it sounds — it tells you which side of the room you would be in, and whether the answer is "buying" or "selling".
Read together with the sectors, that is a room of public-sector buyers and technology vendors with investors along the edges. It is a business-development day more than a research one: nobody is presenting a paper, and the value on offer is who you meet in a city that actually deploys this category of system.
Getting a seat
Tickets run in a wide band and sales close well before the date — see the ticket page for the figures, or go straight to the seller.
