VAP Group Announces Global Blockchain Show 2025 For Abu Dhabi December Event
VAP Group will host the Global Blockchain Show 2025 on December 10-11, 2025, at Space42 Arena in Abu Dhabi. According to Cryptonomist, the event expects 5,000+ attendees, 200+ global expert speakers, 300+ leading investors, and 150+ media representatives. The show received support from Abu Dhabi Convention & Exhibition Bureau.
VAP Group operates as a consulting firm with 170+ professionals across UAE, UK, India, and Hong Kong. The company specializes in AI, blockchain, and gaming solutions through strategic PR, marketing, and global events.

Why This Event Matters For Industry Stakeholders
The Global Blockchain Show 2025 provides a platform for securing investments and forming strategic partnerships in the rapidly expanding Web3 sector. Crypto News reports that previous editions connected founders with investors, helping blockchain startups access funding opportunities and scale their operations.
Abu Dhabi's positioning as a blockchain hub makes this event particularly valuable for regional market expansion. The UAE blockchain market shows projected growth of approximately 42% during 2025-2030, according to MarkNtel Advisors. Government initiatives supporting digital transformation create opportunities for blockchain companies to establish operations in the region.
Attendees gain access to high-impact networking opportunities with developers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. The event connects global blockchain pioneers with local government officials and regional investors who actively pursue Web3 investments. This combination offers startups direct access to both technical expertise and capital funding sources.
Broader Industry Competition And Market Context
The Global Blockchain Show 2025 enters a competitive landscape of blockchain events across the Middle East region. Bitcoin MENA takes place December 8-9, 2025, at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, just two days before VAP Group's event. Zawya confirms Bitcoin MENA as a premier cryptocurrency innovation event for the Middle East market.
This concentration of blockchain events reflects Abu Dhabi's emergence as a global digital asset hub. Chambers and Partners notes that UAE's regulatory framework through VARA, ADGM, and DIFC creates favorable conditions for blockchain companies. The government's blockchain strategy aims to transform 50% of government transactions to blockchain by 2031.
Traditional financial institutions are also increasing their blockchain exposure in the region. Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth funds maintain large Bitcoin ETF holdings, with Mubadala reporting 8.7 million IBIT shares valued at $534 million as of June 2025. This institutional adoption validates the region's commitment to digital asset integration and creates additional opportunities for blockchain service providers.
