As an attendee and speaker at the inaugural ‘Fintech Forward’ event in Bahrain, I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to the FinTech Bay team ably assisted by the event sponsors. We felt that the seniority & quality of the guests present were top-drawer, enabling us, as an inbound firm setting up in the country for the first time, to deepen our network, listen, and learn from tier 1 thought leaders. We can see that the future of regional fintech is very safe in the hands of Bahrain, and the focused branding & clear messaging help financiers, entrepreneurs & policymakers understand what Bahrain wants and stands for. We look forward to supporting you in any way we can!

The event was a true testament to Bahrain's commitment to fostering innovation in the financial technology sector. The organizers did an outstanding job in curating a diverse range of speakers and panel discussions that covered the most relevant and cutting-edge topics in Fintech. The line-up of industry experts, thought leaders, and innovators was truly impressive, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from their insights and experiences. Moreover, the networking opportunities at Fintech Forward were unparalleled. I had the chance to connect with fellow professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors from around the world. The event provided an ideal platform for industry stakeholders to build relationships, share ideas, and explore avenues for collaboration.
