Stellar Dubai is for Blockchain developers, Web3 entrepreneurs, fintech professionals, social impact advocates, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, startup founders, and tech-minded individuals across the UAE who are passionate about leveraging decentralized technologies for social good and building the future of inclusive finance. We are a dynamic community hub that organizes regular meetups, workshops, and networking events focused on Stellar blockchain technology and its role as the premier public goods blockchain. We facilitate deep-dive technical sessions, project showcases, collaborative hackathons, and strategic discussions about real-world applications of Stellar's fast, low-cost, and energy-efficient blockchain infrastructure for financial inclusion, cross-border payments, and social impact initiatives. Why? To unite the fragmented blockchain community across the UAE under a shared vision of using technology for positive social change. We believe Stellar's unique positioning as a public goods blockchain makes it the ideal platform for creating financial infrastructure that serves everyone, not just the privileged few. By bringing together diverse voices from across the Emirates, we're building a movement that demonstrates how blockchain can solve real problems for real people - from enabling financial inclusion for the unbanked to facilitating transparent charitable giving and sustainable development projects. Where? Throughout the UAE, with rotating meetup locations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other Emirates to ensure accessibility for our geographically diverse community. We partner with co-working spaces, innovation hubs, universities, and tech companies to provide inspiring venues that foster collaboration and learning. How? Through monthly in-person meetups featuring expert speakers, hands-on coding workshops, project collaboration sessions, and structured networking opportunities. We maintain an active online community for continuous engagement, resource sharing, and project coordination between events. Our approach combines technical education with practical application, ensuring members not only understand Stellar's technology but can actively contribute to building solutions that make a difference. When? Monthly meetups typically held on weekends to accommodate working professionals, with additional special events, workshops, and hackathons scheduled throughout the year. We align our calendar with major blockchain conferences and Stellar ecosystem developments to maximize learning opportunities and community impact. Our mission: Transform the UAE into a leading hub for blockchain-based public goods innovation, where technology serves humanity's greatest challenges.
