Watch: Belal Jassoma unveils Dubai’s visionary journey to business excellence
Belal Jassoma, Director of Ecosystems at the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), has highlighted Dubai’s unwavering commitment to innovation as the cornerstone of its business landscape in an interview with SiGMA TV at the recent AIBC Eurasia. Jassoma emphasised how the city is harnessing disruptive technologies through strategic frameworks such as the Digital Economy Strategy, Dubai Blockchain Strategy, Dubai Multiverse Strategy, and the Dubai Universal Blueprint for AI. These initiatives not only set the stage for technological integration but also catalyse both public and private sector actions, from innovation hubs to sector-specific acceleration programs.
Under Jassoma’s leadership, DMCC has seen significant developments, including the integration of blockchain into real-world assets like tokenised gold and the launch of Dubai’s first Crypto Tower. Jassoma explained that these strategies are not just theoretical; they translate into tangible results, such as Dubai Police’s AI-driven operations and DMCC’s own pioneering metaverse environment. With a focus on AI, blockchain, gaming, and crypto, Jassoma envisions the region becoming a hub for these converging technologies, driving business innovation and economic growth.
As Dubai positions itself as a global leader in technology, Jassoma sees this era as just the beginning. New projects constantly emerge, reflecting the city’s forward-thinking approach. He emphasised that these efforts are not merely about adopting technology; they’re about fostering ecosystems that support and drive digital transformation across all sectors.
With Dubai’s culture of innovation at the heart of its growth, the city continues to push boundaries, establishing itself as a blueprint for the world. As Jassoma stated, “The possibilities are only going to expand as more organisations and entities adopt these transformative technologies.”
