We were thrilled to announce that our Fakhrul Fadzilah, Partner and Head of Advisory & Compliance, and Aryn Rozali, Financial Services & M&A Senior Associate, represented our Firm at the prestigious Dubai FinTech Summit 2025.

This premier event, held on 12–13 May 2025 at Madinat Jumeirah, brought together over 8,000 decision-makers from 118 countries to explore the future of finance. Under the theme “FinTech for All,” the summit delved into critical topics such as AI, blockchain, sustainable investing, and digital economies. With over 300 thought leaders and 200+ exhibitors, it was a hub of innovation and collaboration.

The summit brought together a dynamic community of policymakers, innovators, and financial technology leaders to explore the future of fintech. A key takeaway was the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in areas such as credit decision-making, compliance automation and embedded finance.

In addition to the summit, our team held productive discussions with representatives from the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and the Consulate General of Malaysia in Dubai focusing on trade facilitation and cross-border legal support. We concluded our visit with a meeting with the Malaysian Business Council in Dubai where we discussed potential collaboration.

We subsequently followed up with our new contacts from the summit and began exploring how these regional innovations could be brought into Malaysia through strategic partnerships.
