Proof of Talk 2023 | Exibex | 12 June 2023 | Doha, Qatar

The financial services industry is critical to the Qatari economy, and the government is working hard to make Qatar a regional financial center. Fintech offers significant opportunities for economic diversification and is one of the four pillars of Qatar's National Vision 2030. Banks in Qatar have recognised the role digital transformation plays in driving growth and efficiency. Banks are rethinking their business models to ensure they are profitable and remain viable in the future. It is imperative for regional banks to beat the competition by moving from their outdated legacy systems to more robust, efficient and modern platforms. Most leading banks are investing heavily in digital technologies (including AI, automation, cloud computing, data analytics, blockchains, open API’s ,payments, cybersecurity, and more) to take advantage of them and remain competitive in the industry, but how can legacy banks leverage this new transformation?

The Finnovex Global Series continues to provide an interactive platform to discover Qatar's rapid innovations in the financial sector. Following the overwhelming success of last year's Summit, we are pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Finnovex Qatar 2023. The main objective of the summit is to explore new technologies and methodologies that can help the banking sector reach new heights. This will be done through interactive panel discussions ,fireside-chat and focused keynote sessions , Live demo’s by industry pioneers to develop strategies that will help them keep pace with the evolving financial ecosystem in the digital age.This is the industry’s destination to debate new ideas, unpack the latest trends, set agendas and build collaborative partnerships.
