Begzod Sodikov attended Dubai FinTech Summit 2026

Begzod Sodikov, Business Consultant at Smart Advisors Group, attended Dubai FinTech Summit 2026, held on 2–3 November at Madinat Jumeirah. Organised by Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the event brought together representatives of banks, regulators, investors and financial technology companies.

The summit’s themes included cross-border payments, digital assets, tokenisation and AI in financial services. For international businesses, the published programme and exhibitor directory highlight three practical considerations:

• Choose payment providers around actual business needs. Supported countries and currencies, settlement times and eligibility requirements should be checked against the company’s payment flows.
• Assess the legal and operational arrangements for digital assets. Depending on the intended use, this may include custody, applicable regulatory requirements and transfers between digital asset platforms and bank accounts.
• Consider where automation can support compliance. The exhibitor directory lists solutions for verifying payment recipients, conducting due diligence and monitoring transactions. These are areas where businesses can assess whether technology could improve their existing controls.
