​Across MENA, AI adoption is moving quickly from experimentation to production. For FinTech leaders, the key question is no longer simply whether companies should adopt agentic AI. The more important question is whether they have the right foundations in place to make it work safely and at scale.

​That is exactly why the DIFC Innovation Hub is bringing together JetBrains, Tabby and Google for Developers at the DIFC FinTech Hive, to explore what it takes to move from AI pilots to production-ready agentic systems in MENA FinTech.
