stc pay, the MENA region’s leading digital wallet and regional operator in fintech providing innovative and secure digital financial services, participated in this year’s Mobile World Conference Barcelona, which took place recently.
The Mobile World Congress, where smartphone and telecoms companies show off their latest products and reveal their strategic visions, welcomed more than 40,000 guests over its four-day run, from Feb. 28 to March 3.
stc pay CEO Ahmed Al-Enezi participated in a panel discussion on “The Digital Payments Landscape,” where he joined other industry leaders to share views on the mobile ecosystem and digital payments, in particular the converging world of payments and digital identity, while taking a closer look at evolving business models and how operators and fintech organizations can work together to truly unleash the power of digital payments.
“MWC gathered together key players and innovators who are trailblazing change and establishing a global technological hub,” Al-Enezi said. “I was pleased to represent the Kingdom and join a panel of distinguished industry leaders to demonstrate how working together we can harness the power of emerging technologies to achieve the seemingly impossible and help transform the payments ecosystem, economy, and society.”
The MWC Barcelona was attended by global mobile operators, device manufacturers, technology providers, vendors, and content owners. In terms of connectivity, it is the place to be seen, exhibit groundbreaking products and technologies, and make connections with senior decision-makers, creators, and leading innovators in the industry.
The MWC was canceled at the last minute in 2020 as the pandemic spread from China to Europe, and last year’s edition was drastically scaled down.
Focuses of this year’s event included the rise of 5G, the opportunities offered by the Internet of Things, the metaverse and the impact of tech on the environment.
