Investigating the state of fintech and startups at GITEX international exhibition

On the sidelines of the international Fintech exhibition, the CEO of Lando, Dr Alireza Qanadanreviewed his trends and experiences from this exhibition. In a conversation with Hoshio, he mentioned the attractions of this event and its differences from domestic exhibitions.

Alireza Qanadan stated that this year’s exhibition paid good attention to startups and fintech innovations, and said: “The startups section was more attractive to me, and there are many booths from different countries here, which shows the high capacity of this industry.”

He continued: “There are many differences between domestic exhibitions and here. Here we see a macro policy from the UAE government that seeks to establish a leadership position in the field of technology not only in the region, but globally. This approach has made many companies from different parts of the world participate in this exhibition with full capacity.

The CEO of Lando also pointed out the wide presence of companies from different continents and said: “This exhibition shows a centrality in the governance of the UAE, which, with large investments, presents itself as an innovation center in the world.”

Alireza Qanadan further mentioned the comparison of the UAE’s futuristic museums with historical museums and added: “Even though the UAE has a less historical past, it has made detailed plans for its future. “The most important thing to learn from here is the kind of attitude that exists here.”

He also mentioned the emergence of artificial intelligence and the challenges in Iran: “Various companies in this exhibition are working seriously in the field of artificial intelligence, but in Iran we are still far from these developments. “It seems that we should move towards creating the right conditions for the exploitation of these technologies.”

In the end, the CEO of Lando noted: “If the right conditions are provided, Iranian experts working abroad can help improve the technological situation in Iran.” These people have sweat and commitment to their country, and with the necessary support, they can play an important role in the development of the fintech industry and other fields.”
