Attending the 24 Fintech event in Riyadh was a major highlight. With over 26,000 attendees, 300+ speakers, and 300 exhibitors, it was a great achievement for the fintech industry and for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The event showcased cutting-edge solutions in AI, blockchain, and financial inclusion, proving that the Kingdom is not just catching up but leading global financial innovation. The numbers speak for themselves: Saudi’s fintech market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%, reaching $33 billion by 2026. These advancements are a testament to the country’s ambitious goals, and being part of this transformative event felt like witnessing history in the making. The conversations I had with founders and investors left no doubt—this is just the beginning. Looking forward to seeing how these innovations shape the future. #Fintech #SaudiVision2030 #Innovation #Blockchain #AI #FinancialInclusion #Growth #FutureOfFinance #GlobalLeadership #RiyadhFintech #CAGR #SaudiArabia
