42. UNIQUE DIGITAL CERTIFICATE GIFT
In cooperation with Niuversity,
And for the first time in the Middle East, the NFT experience
arrived at Fintech Road Vision Conference Fair.
The acronym “NFT” stands for “non-fungible token,” and it is
essentially an online (blockchain) record that represents
ownership of a digital asset — usually an image or a video clip, but
theoretically anything in the digital sphere.
Fintech Road Vision will grant participants digital badges and
memorable photos as a gift during the event to be officially
recognized and saved on the blockchain.
Each Participant as well as speaker will get its exclusive #NFT as
proof of attendance and a verified gift opens the door for future
discounts.
NFT is a form of #Blockchain-based recognition which is
immutable and permanent, this means that the participants will
have it forever, as well as it cannot be modified later anyway.
The NFT holder will have a proven record/ certificate of the
participation and that record will grant him/her access to many
perks in the future, these links can be shared on Social Media, Web
Site, or be found in the blockchain wallets.
NFT experience is one of a kind, where an interactive community
can be established and can be of real value for networking and
sharing ideas. professionals can harness the excitement; they’re
generating to promote engagement and build community.
We are honored to issue two main NFT
First NFT: Speakers’ NFT which is representing an art piece of their
photos together and minted for each speaker.
Second NFT: a badge of the Fintech Road Vision Conference logo
and minted for attendees

44. FINDINGS RECOMMENDATIONS
We have developed huge awareness of the growing African
and FinTech Market
There are still major governmental hurdles to overcome in
order for FinTech to take hold in the growing African and
Medileast Market
Covid has accelerated the use and adoption rate of FinTech
dramatically, especially in developing markets
There should be fewer panels at FinTech Road Vision 2023.
Instead, presentations that may take 20 mins long should
be delivered by speakers.
Moderators must interrupt when speakers exceed
allocated time.
After each panel or presentations, participants should
evaluate on the basis of the scoring system.
Instead of two days, the duration of the conference should
be one day.
Local Fintech or technology startups shall be invited. I am
not talking about Papara or any scale-up Fintech.
Early-stage of Fintechs or Islamic Fintechs can be invited.
