This week, we will travel to Dubai together to spend a month cultivating the Hedera Ecosystem locally and to attend some brilliant events during COP28.
Expect some video interviews with interesting folks with beautiful sceneries in the background, discussing the future of the UAE and Distributed Ledger Technology. We will also try to catch Hedera legends Christian Hasker & Wes Geisenberger for interviews!
During COP28, Hedera & the HBAR Foundation’s Sustainable Impact fund are hosting a series of events that are poised to be some of the most exciting when it comes to ESG technology strategy.

Known for its beautiful architecture, friendly culture and mesmerising desert landscapes, the United Arab Emirates celebrates its 52 year anniversary today.
Under the leadership of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai has been transformed like no other city in history.
Other than beautiful skyscrapers, unprecedented safety and practicality non existent crime due to one of the most advanced AI powered Polices in the world, Dubai has a clear strategy. It wants to become the Silicon Valley of Asia.
No other country has done more to accommodate the growth of the DLT, Blockchain & Metaverse sectors. From special tax free zones to clear regulatory guidelines, the UAE is once again paving the way as a pioneer.
Hedera Hashgraph is no stranger to the business capital of the Middle East. It boasts a significant presence in Dubai and is already changing how the emirates are operating. Here’s an overview of the Hedera Ecosystem in the UAE:
Established in 2004, the DIFC Courts is Dubai’s international English language common law judicial system and forms a key part of the legal system of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It was established with the specific objective to enable the international community in the UAE to have greater confidence in the Emirate’s legal framework and to further strengthen investment and trade relations with Dubai and the UAE.
Tejouri – zK on Hedera meets Justice
The platform is built on Hedera Hashgraph and provides a unique platform that functions simultaneously as a cloud vault, an online safe for data and is supported by the state-of-the-art onsite DIFC data centre and a secondary UAE-based backup data centre. Access to all data will be restricted to the ‘vault holder’ and the listed intended recipients, guaranteeing zero knowledge proof privacy principles.
Beyond Dubai, Hedera is not stopping. An entire Emirate is backing Hashgraph Technology with the recent partnership between the Ras Al Khaimah Emirate’s DAO and the HBAR Foundation.
Humans.ai is a Hedera ecosystem company that has already found its footing in Ras Al Khaimah. Beyond DLT, Hedera is starting to become a player in AI as well. A well suited endeavour, given Dr. Leemon Baird, the Inventor of Hashgraph is also one of the best AI experts in the world.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Humaid bin Abdullah Al Qasimi, the chairman of RAK DAO, said that the collaboration with HBAR Foundation will drive sustainable growth for the ecosystem and will shape a future where the UAE emirate of Ras Al Khaimah will emerge as a “global leader in the digital economy.”
Ras Al Khaimah is home to some of the natural wonders of the UAE, such as the Stairway to Heaven.
Hedera’s main Launchpad is HeadStarter which is also based in Dubai. They recently announced the collaboration with another Hashgraph powered company.
Sphera World revolutionizes the fan experience, connecting people with the world of sports like never before.
It is set to take the Arab world by storm given it is backed by Koora that boasts millions of users.
All powered by Hedera Hashgraph’s revolutionary technology.
DECA4 is accelerating Hedera in the UAE with unprecedented speed & effectiveness
Mohammed Mahfoudh’s DECA4 seems to be the force behind Hedera’s recent successes in the United Arab Emirates.
DECA4 brings together thought leaders and innovators to identify how their clients can leverage Hashgraph technology in their business.
With experts from software development and consulting, legal, marketing, educational, business development organizations, they are ideally positioned to accelerate the Hedera Ecosystem in the UAE and soon the entire Arab World.
I not only want to get introduced to traditional Emarati clothing, I’d love to know more about how DECA4 is accelerating the Hedera Ecosystem in the UAE.
I cannot wait to meet him in Dubai and will do my best to arrange for a video interview discussing the future of the UAE’s technology infrastructure with this Arab tech pioneer!
