“A variety of services, including incubation for early-stage start-ups, cooperation facilities, innovation services for corporate clients, blockchain training and entrepreneurship, education, events, mentoring and funding.”

The project is developed in collaboration with CV VC and CV Labs.

The goal is for DMCC to serve the entire region, acting as a basis for developing services based on blockchain technology. These will include financial services related to crypto, including tokenization and the like.

The project was launched four years after Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum said:

“Dubai will be the first city in the world to conduct government transactions through Blockchain by 2020.”

From 2016 until now, Dubai has been involved in numerous blockchain projects and aims to maintain the international hub of the digital revolution.
