DUBAI, May 29, 2018
Over 1,000 delegates from across the world including institutional and individual investors from the Middle East will attend the Blockchain Investment Technology Conference Middle East (BITConME) to be held next month in Dubai, UAE.
The conference will take place on June 25, at Atlantis, The Palm Dubai.
Investors from the Middle East, including new joiners in the pool of blockchain investors from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Lebanon, will the take part in the event, said a statement from the organisers.
The unique case study based event that promises to provide both real time knowledge and numerous business development and investment opportunities will have representation from government authorities, blockchain service companies, investment firms, initial coin offerings (ICOs) and blockchain enthusiasts in general, it said.
Some prominent names delivering outstanding projects at the event include Dr Zaharuddin Adb Rahman from Bayan Token, Iman Mutlaq from Ingot Coin, Henri Harland of Fliptech SAS and Victor Ilofuan of 9Pay.
Ari Zoldman of Quantum Group Media has also been confirmed as the official event moderator. He is also chief marketing officer of Optherium Labs and a commentary expert on technology with regular appearances on CNN, CNBC and FOX News.
Mutlaq, founder of Ingot Coin and a BITConME speaker, said: “Relevant business events and meet-ups are crucial to build credibility with investors for my ICO. It's an opportunity to showcase my project and how it can help change business processes.”
Ingot Coin seeks to bridge Crypto and traditional markets by integrating a digital bank, exchange, wallet and brokerage firm. Ingot Coin also seeks to provide a certifier for education and an ICO Accelerator.
Another speaker, Harland, CEO of Fliptech, said: “FlipNpik fills the technology gap and the lack of visibility that are facing small businesses.”
“Thanks to a blockchain-based ecosystem, merchants, customers and creators can now collaborate to promote local consumption and share the value created. This should no longer be reserved for insiders,” he added.
Blockchain, a digitised, decentralised, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions found early support in the UAE with the Dubai Blockchain Strategy being launched by Sheikh Hamdan.
The demand for Blockchain Technology remains on the rise and this is owed to the growing adoption of distributed ledger technology across multiple industries globally.
The UAE's 'Emirates Blockchain Strategy 2021' recently announced in April, also sends a clear statement that even government entities now see value in the adoption of blockchain technology as the Middle East continues to gain steady momentum in the wide spread adoption of the technology, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
