Trading and investment sessions are expected to address algorithmic trading, risk management, market psychology, institutional investment strategies, and artificial intelligence-powered analysis tools.
The mining track will focus on next-generation equipment, energy efficiency, investment cycles, alternative mining models, and the expanding digital asset mining ecosystem in the Middle East.
Additional topics will include real-world asset tokenization, the integration of Web3 technologies into traditional businesses, zero-knowledge proofs, decentralized autonomous organizations, NFTs, the metaverse, GameFi, and the convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology.
Blockchain Life 2026 will also be held alongside the AI Future Forum, creating additional opportunities to explore new business models connecting the crypto, blockchain, and artificial intelligence sectors.

Selected startups will take part in technical preparations and stage rehearsals on December 1. The official presentations will be held on December 2 at the forum’s Space Stage.
Depending on the selected participation package, founders will have three or six minutes to introduce their projects before answering questions from the jury.
