Mohit Davar at the blockchain summit in Dubai
On October 24th 2018 during the world blockchain summit at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Mohit Davar took the opportunity as a speaker to launch Huobi MENA of which he is a co-founder. The launch was timely and convenient owing to their decision to set up their regional offices in the city of Dubai. Dubai is on course to becoming the world's pioneer blockchain-Powered Government by 2020. Mohit expressed his excitement to bring the Huobi Blockchain and digital asset ecosystem to the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, a region commonly referred to as the MENA region.
The region boasts of an approximated 22 countries that are in both the Middle East and North Africa that are important to the global economic stability as they collectively account for 45% world's natural gas reserves and a whopping 60% of the world's oil reserves. MENA is a real untapped goldmine described as the most prosperous with countries such as UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait topping the list of countries with high per capita income. Some governments such as Saudi Arabia's and UAE already included blockchain in their development strategies by 2030 thereby encouraging blockchain investments and partnerships in the region. Blockchain companies such as Ripple already have partnerships with several leading banks in the region to tap into its potential.
