The event series, titled Fintech Futures: UAE-UK Connection, will commence in Dubai in May next year and alternate between the UAE and UK throughout 2025-2026. The program includes exclusive networking sessions, startup showcases and strategic roundtables focused on connecting investors with promising fintech ventures.
“The UAE and UK represent two of the world’s most dynamic fintech ecosystems, each with unique strengths and complementary opportunities,” said Zoe Bardet, Manager at Kenja Consulting and lead coordinator of the initiative. “Through this series, we’re creating a structured platform for meaningful dialogue and investment opportunities between these markets”.
Key features of the series include curated matchmaking sessions between investors and pre-vetted fintech startups; expert panels focusing on cross-border investment opportunities; regulatory workshops addressing compliance requirements in both markets; and exclusive networking events for qualified investors and founders.
With Dubai and Abu Dhabi emerging as major fintech hubs alongside London’s established position in the global financial technology landscape, the initiative responds to the growing interest in cross-border fintech investments between the UAE and the UK.
“We’ve observed increasing demand from our clients for opportunities to expand their fintech portfolios across these markets,” Bardet added. “This series will provide a structured approach to identifying and evaluating investment opportunities while building lasting relationships between the two ecosystems”.
