Blockchain adoption can save $3bn for UAE

The UAE can save over AED 11 billion ($3 billion) through adopting the cutting-edge blockchain technology, according to a recent survey.

The paper, entitled “Inclusive Deployment of Blockchain: Case Studies and Learning from the United Arab Emirates” was jointly prepared by Dubai Future Foundation, C4IR UAE and the World Economic Forum.

Thus, the survey aimed to highlight the current deployment phases in the ecosystem as well as the relevant challenges and success factors.

More than 100 stakeholders from over 60 public and private entities actively use the blockchain widely across the country, the study showed.

Accordingly, it seems that the UAE focuses on the blockchain industry as it was reported that 80% of public and private entities adopt such cutting-edge technology widely.
