Abu Dhabi, UAE/London, UK – March 18, 2025 – The Tech Capital is pleased to announce the launch of The Tech Capital’s Middle East & Africa (MEA) Finance Forum, set to take place in Abu Dhabi on November 24, 2025.

The prestigious event is a spin-off of the MEA theatre at The Tech Capital’s International Finance Forum in London, hosted on May 23.

The MEA Finance Forum is a crucial platform that aims to bring together industry leaders, experts, and professionals to discuss and address pressing issues facing the regional financial and regulatory landscape, with a specific focus on the rapidly growing digital infrastructure economy in the Middle East & Africa region.

The MEA Finance Forum 2025 intends to provide a comprehensive platform for in-depth discussions and networking opportunities, emphasizing the importance of empowering decision-making.

The event will convene distinguished professionals, including digital infrastructure business leaders, financiers, investors, brokers, funders, senior legal advisers, and strategists, to exchange groundbreaking ideas, and invaluable insights, and engage in strategic networking.

With more than 1,500 attendees having attended previous The Tech Capital Forums, the event joins a growing list of regional gatherings for those at the forefront of building the world’s data centers, cell towers, and fiber infrastructure to convene, inspire, and forge valuable connections.

The MEA Finance Forum 2025 is designed to provide cutting-edge content, relevant, timely, and actionable, from keynote speeches to interactive panels.

“The MEA Finance Forum 2025 is a crucial stage at a pivotal time, providing an exceptional opportunity to invest in getting peers together in the region,” said The Tech Capital’s Managing Editor Joao Marques Lima. “With the rapidly growing digitalisation, energy, and investment dynamics in the MEA region, this event will serve as a bridge between Europe and Asia, reaffirming the Gulf’s place on the international intercontinental interconnective stage.”

Commenting on the launch Henry Sutton, founder and chairman of the Gulf Data Centre Association (GDCA), added:  ”The Arabian Gulf economies are now some of the most active globally in terms of diversification and development. The region has become a willing and early adopter of the latest technologies, is promoting new policies and incentives to support foreign and domestic investors and is opening up its markets ready for rates of growth that are unparalleled anywhere today. All of this, combined with Governments and Sovereign Wealth Funds that have a major interest in the development of the data centre industry, creates the perfect storm for long-term opportunities in the region.

“The Gulf Data Centre Association is delighted to be a partner of The Tech Capital Middle East and Africa Finance Forum in Abu Dhabi. The IFF MEA event provides an essential investment forum to support the rapid growth of the data centre industry in the GCC and supports the GDCA’s mission of driving collaboration and transparency in a region that is destined to become a front-runner in future digitalisation.”

The MEA Finance Forum 2025 is an event not to be missed, as it promises to be an exhilarating and informative platform for industry professionals, empowering and driving businesses and digital infrastructure portfolios to unprecedented heights.
