Bahrain’s fintech journey, which began with the region’s first regulatory sandbox, is now drawing global leaders to Manama with the return of ‘Fintech Forward 2025’ in October.

The two-day forum, set for October 8 and 9 at Exhibition World Bahrain, comes under the theme ‘The era of integration: the maturing age of fintech’. The focus reflects how financial technology has evolved from experimentation to becoming an integral part of financial infrastructure.

Industry heavyweights from Revolut Global Digital Assets, Citi Institute and MonetaGo will join policymakers and innovators to discuss regulatory integration, digital asset infrastructure, green finance and cross-border payment solutions tailored to emerging markets.

Over the past decade, Bahrain has positioned itself as a launchpad for scalable fintech models, from open banking to digital assets and blockchain. Early steps by the Central Bank of Bahrain, including its pioneering sandbox and a national open banking framework, provided fertile ground for growth and international recognition.
