Cairo: Foodics, the leading provider of restaurant management and financial tech solutions in the MENA region, has announced the launch of the third edition of "Pioneers ElScene'; a well-established community platform that brings together leaders of Egypt's F&B sector to discuss the future of the industry, especially amid the rapid market changes and shifting consumer trends during the summer season. This strengthens the platform's position as a key annual platform for business owners and entrepreneurs in the F&B industry.
This year's community platform focuses on discussing the most important practices and changes related to the summer season and how to address them, highlighting the importance of leveraging technology and digital transformation to improve operational efficiency and support growth plans during one of the most critical seasons for the F&B sector. The platform also featured the announcement of a new solution, the launch of Foodics BI, an advanced tool that enables restaurant owners to gain a comprehensive view of their business through AI-powered reports.
Belal Zahran, International Managing Director of Foodics Egypt and UAE, said: "At Foodics, we believe the future of the F&B sector largely depends on its ability to adopt technology, especially during peak times like the summer season. Therefore, this year's Pioneers El Scene is more than just a gathering; it is an invitation for decision-making and innovation, and an opportunity for restaurant owners to connect and exchange expertise."
He added: "Through the launch of solutions like Foodics BI, we reaffirm our commitment to providing smart and sustainable solutions that support sector growth, in line with our ambitious vision to empower every restaurant or café owner to manage their operations efficiently, anytime and anywhere, with reliable and flexible technological support. Believing that artificial intelligence is the future, we were keen to launch such a product to equip our clients with advanced analytical tools that support their decisions and meet their aspirations."
During the event, Foodics also announced the return of the 'Foodics Folks' program with its second edition, the first hands-on training program dedicated to youth aged 18 to 21.

World Fintech Day 2025: MENA region evolves into global fintech powerhouse

Dubai — Once labelled an emerging market, the MENA region has rapidly transformed into a thriving global Fintech hub. With trailblazing regulations, deep public-private collaboration, and a culture of innovation, the region is now setting benchmarks in digital finance. On this World Fintech Day, all eyes are on MENA—not just for participation, but for leadership in the Fintech revolution. Over the past five years, MENA has demonstrated exponential growth across digital payments, AI-powered financial services, open banking frameworks, and tokenised assets. According to a 2025 Finextra Insights report, Fintech investments in the region surpassed USD 6.1 billion in H1 alone—a 37% year-on-year rise—driven by funding rounds in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. The study also highlights that 65% of consumers in the region now prefer digital-first financial services, a sharp increase from 44% in 2022. Driving this momentum is the MENA Fintech Association (MFTA), an organisation pivotal in connecting industry regulators, financial institutions, and Fintech innovators under a unified vision. Through its expanding regional chapters across Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Africa, MFTA has become the cornerstone of Fintech policy advocacy and ecosystem development. 'The MENA region has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to set new benchmarks for financial innovation,' said Nameer Khan, Chairman, MFTA. 'By aligning regulation with innovation and fostering collaboration across borders, we at MFTA are shaping not just a regional success story, but a global one.' This year's spotlight also falls on the importance of robust cybersecurity amid growing digitalisation. Fintechs, while known for their cutting-edge tech stacks, face increasingly complex threats from AI-driven attacks. 'Fintechs are often seen as cybersecurity trailblazers,' noted Mohammed Al-Moneer, Sr. Regional Director, Middle East, Turkey & Africa at Infoblox. 'But perceived cybersecurity maturity does not equal immunity. Attackers are getting faster and smarter, often using AI to write malicious code or detect vulnerabilities more efficiently.' Al-Moneer emphasised the need to revisit foundational tools. 'DNS is more than just internet plumbing. It offers one of the most efficient early warning systems against cyber threats, providing deep visibility into malicious activity without operational overhead. For fintechs navigating high stakes and relentless attacks, DNS could be the edge that keeps them ahead of the game.' The 2025 Fintech Outlook by MEED echoes this sentiment, reporting that 73% of MENA Fintechs plan to increase investments in cyber resilience tools this year. Moreover, initiatives like the UAE's AI-Powered Compliance Sandbox and Saudi Arabia's Fintech Saudi accelerator are embedding security and innovation into the DNA of regional Fintechs. The convergence of bold regulation, technological innovation, and regional collaboration is now positioning MENA as an exportable model for global Fintech success. On this World Fintech Day, the region's message is clear: Fintech is not just an industry—it is a movement, and MENA is shaping its next frontier.
