The global financial technology industry is booming, with the world looking to Riyadh

The future of money, how it is moved, managed and multiplied in the era of fintech and digital innovation, will be very much under the spotlight at the 2025 edition of Money 20/20 Middle East. Held in Riyadh from September 15 to 17, the event gathers all the right people – bankers, big tech and fintech leaders, regulators, start-ups and investors – in one place to share insights, drive innovation and create opportunities for business growth.

“Attendees expect something more than just another fintech conference, and that is what we will give them,” says Annabelle Mander, executive vice-president at Tahaluf. One of the fast-growing firms in the event organising sector, it plays a major role in executing events that align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to transform the kingdom into a global financial hub.

Money 20/20 Middle East is where that future will be built. The event, which will welcome more than 45,000 international attendees, 450 leading fintech brands, 350 prominent speakers and 400 investors alongside key decision-makers, government leaders and financial regulators, promises to be the best fintech show of the year, giving rise to an unparalleled surge of collaborations and partnerships.
