Events & community.

Hackathons that ship to production, workshops that close real-world Shariah governance gaps, and summits where regulators, Shariah scholars, and engineers meet in the same room. Built for banks, takaful operators, fintechs, and the global community of Islamic finance practitioners. The first cohort launches with five hackathons across Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, London and Jakarta.
