Building Beyond Borders: AI, Blockchain & Tech - From Nordic Innovation to Global Markets
FirstBlock, Dubai International Chamber, Enclave, Sigma Technology and AI Institutet are bringing together Nordic founders, executives, and technology leaders for an evening dedicated to exploring Dubai as a market for international expansion and a gateway to the wider Middle East.
This session offers two perspectives:
Dubai International Chamber will share insights into Dubai’s business environment, technology ecosystem, and market-entry opportunities for international companies. They support companies exploring establishment, expansion, and business opportunities in Dubai through its international offices and network across Dubai’s government and business ecosystem, helping them understand the market, connect with relevant authorities and partners, and navigate the process of doing business in Dubai.
Enclave will present its approach to private AI and critical infrastructure for regulated organisations, with a focus on maintaining control over technology, data, and operations. Enclave helps regulated European organisations deploy private platforms for private AI and critical operations on infrastructure they own and control, reducing external dependency while supporting greater security, control, and operational resilience.
