The Sovereign Sandbox: Engineering the Global Blueprint for Tech
For AI and Gaming companies, growth is no longer shaped only by product and talent. Regulation can determine speed to market, investor readiness, and the certainty to scale across borders.
DMCC, in partnership with Foment del Treball Nacional and Immersive, is hosting an in-person session in Barcelona featuring the panel discussion “The Frontier Sandbox: Policy as a Competitive Advantage in 2026.”
The discussion will explore how regulatory agility is becoming a key consideration in where companies choose to build and expand, and what this means for AI and Gaming businesses planning their next phase of international growth.
This session is designed for founders, and businesses assessing how policy frameworks influence global scale, risk management and long-term business planning.
Key highlights:
Why regulatory agility is becoming a competitive factor in 2026
Trust frameworks for AI, including initiatives such as the Dubai AI Seal
