Dubai has been ranked among the world’s top four FinTech hubs in the latest Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI), driven by the success of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The emirate also advanced to 11th place globally overall, reflecting international confidence in its strong financial ecosystem, innovation-friendly infrastructure, and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33’s goal of becoming a top global financial centre.
DIFC now hosts over 1,500 AI, FinTech, and innovation companies within its Innovation Hub, collectively raising more than USD 4.2 billion in investments. This makes Dubai the largest cluster for growth-stage tech firms in the region, cementing its reputation as a global force in finance, technology, and entrepreneurship.
