'World Blockchain Summit' to begin in Dubai

Cryptoasset and the latest developments in blockchain technologies will be presented to the world at WBS Dubai. Blatform will take place as both a sponsor and participant in WBS Dubai, one of the most important events of the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry worldwide.

WBS Dubai, which is the center of attention of trade, culture, and various industry groups, offers a unique networking opportunity for entrepreneurs, investors, government officials, developers, those interested in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, and global media figures.

WHY WAS DUBAI SELECTED FOR THE SUMMIT?

The UAE, especially Dubai, is known for its active stance on the topics of crypto and blockchain technology in recent days. With this position, Dubai, which wants to further highlight its “Cryptofriendly” structure, is updating the infrastructures of its governing bodies to encourage the adoption of blockchain technologies.

Launched to promote crypto and blockchain technologies, *DMCC Dubai Multi Crypto Center is home to more than 100 organizations operating in the crypto assets field. Dubai has also opened a free economic zone for business offering, exporting, listing, and trading activities with cryptocurrency. DMCC has signed an agreement with the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) to provide licensing to firms dealing with crypto assets. In addition, Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority (DAFZA) has started work with SCA to expand the use of blockchain throughout the UAE, especially in Dubai, in order to contribute to the growth in the cryptocurrency sector and improve the country's blockchain strategy.

Considering all these developments, WBS Dubai, which will be held face-to-face and comprehensively for the first time in 3 years, is expected to make a big impact in the sector.
