5/19/25, 1:11 PM Reflecting on Dubai FinTech Summit: Highlighting How Fintech is for All | The Fintech Times
Day two capitalised on day one’s momentum and saw more visionary

speakers, disruptive ideas, and transformative discussions drive

forward-thinking conversations on the future of finance. Held under

the patronage of HH Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid

Al Maktoum and organised by DIFC, day two set the stage for high-

impact dialogue, innovation, and real-world financial transformation.

In a similar vein to the Exhibition Zone on day one, day two saw the

Main Arena and Ignyte Arena buzz with innovation, connecting fintech

pioneers with cutting-edge solutions and live demos.

The FinTech World Cup

The FinTech World Cup Grand Finale – organised by Trescon and

powered by Ignyte – took place on day two on the Innovation Stage 2,

as start-ups from around the world pitched groundbreaking solutions,

competing for investment, global recognition, and direct access to

leading investors.

After a close competition, IPID was announced as the winner with its

approach to insurtech. Alain Raes, founding partner and chief

commercial officer at IPID said: “This is an amazing recognition for

all of us at IPID but also and more importantly a recognition of the

solution we are bringing to a massive payment issue that the industry

is facing.”
