The Global Blockchain Show Riyadh 2026 has successfully concluded, bringing together the world's leading blockchain innovators, enterprise leaders, investors, policymakers, and Web3 pioneers to shape the future of decentralized technology. Co-located with the Global AI Show and Global Games Show, this year's edition demonstrated how blockchain is rapidly evolving from emerging technology to critical enterprise infrastructure.
Event highlights include 15,000+ registrations, 6,723 attendees, 100+ global speakers, 100 exhibitors, 70% CXO-level audience, and delegates from 80+ countries. This year's conversations made one thing clear: Blockchain has moved beyond speculation to power real-world enterprise transformation. From chain abstraction, tokenization, and digital identity to DeFi, AI × Blockchain convergence, cybersecurity, enterprise infrastructure, and intelligent finance, the summit explored the technologies driving the next generation of digital economies.
A defining milestone of the event was the launch of VAP Ventures—VAP Group's strategic initiative to back 100 startups by 2030, accelerating innovation across blockchain, AI, gaming, and emerging technologies. As Vishal Parmar, Founder & CEO of VAP Group, shared: "The future of blockchain will be built through collaboration, not competition. Our commitment is to create platforms where visionary founders, enterprises, and investors come together to build what's next."
The next edition will be the Global Blockchain Show Abu Dhabi, continuing to advance the future of Web3 and enterprise innovation.
