The MENA region’s largest trade showcase for the entire financial technology community opens in Abu Dhabi tomorrow, pointing the way forward for banks and financial institutions to drive revenue through a greater focus on IT innovation.

ABTEC, to be held at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, ADNEC, combines a series of conferences featuring a 30-strong international panel of influential speakers and an exhibition attracting more than 60 innovative technology providers from overseas and the Middle East.

The two-day event is backed by the Government of Abu Dhabi, with leading industry players eyeing a US$13 billion-a-year regional financial technology market fuelled by a growing shift in the banking business. Live demonstrations of technologies shaping the future of finance will be a key feature at the event.

The significance of ABTEC is that it is the MENA region’s first event to bring together the entire financial technology industry under one roof in order to analyse challenges, identify solutions and develop new partnerships.

The conference will spotlight new tools and innovations reshaping the electronic trading landscape, with speakers including Akl Noun, Chief Information Officer, Invest AD, discussing how the industry could embrace change more effectively, and assessing the outlook for technology spending in the capital markets industry.
