Opportunity Areas

Through this cohort, DIFC FinTech Hive is looking to accelerate and match Emirates NBD with leading global start-ups offering unique propositions across 3 key themes: 

1.      How might Emirates NBD build the technology stack to facilitate the shift from 2D to 3D for today and the metaverse to provide customers with more engaging experiences?

2.      How might Emirates NBD boost engagement on existing channels to provide more immersive experiences for their customers and create virtual worlds to attract personas active in the metaverse?

3.      How might Emirates NBD securely enable the required web 3.0 decentralized payment infrastructure for users to create, monetize, buy & sell digital assets & services?

Timelines

Over a 10-week acceleration program, the DIFC Fintech Hive will evaluate and match Emirates NBD with leading start-ups offering unique propositions on the value creation, experience and technology stack required for the metaverse. This will culminate in a demo day at GITEX where the shortlisted participants will pitch their solutions for an opportunity to co-create engaging experiences for Emirates NBD customers in the new reality.
