We’re consultants, technologists, bankers & investors
About Cedar-IBSi FinTech LabFounded in 2018, Cedar-IBSi’s FinTech Lab in the heart of Dubai’s Internet City has been home to global FinTechs who need a “soft-landing” opportunity into the MENA region. Our lab platform is the brainchild of the group, consisting of global management consulting firm, Cedar (www.cedar-consulting.com), and global FinTech market intelligence firm, IBS Intelligence (www.ibsintelligence.com).
Not many know FinTech the way we do. Since 2018, the Cedar-IBSi lab has been home to global technology companies of different shapes and sizes, each of whom have used membership benefits to learn, partner, and accelerate.

TESTIMONIALS






Cedar-IBSi pop-up labs
IntroducingOur strongest competitive advantage as a lab platform lies in our history and experience across the region over 30+ years. Over the years, Cedar-IBSi’s teams have advised Asia’s leading banks, BankTechs, and FinTechs as they navigate through the evolution of technologies.
Our ability to truly help lab members and portfolio companies enter new markets, and guide them through the process, is therefore unparalleled. Our pop-up FinTech labs that will soon launch across Asia will be the ultimate market-access channel for FinTech companies looking to penetrate new markets and engage with the regional ecosystem!
In Phase 1, we are thrilled to launch our pop-up labs across the UAE, Bahrain, KSA, and Oman. That’s not all – we have even bigger plans for Phase 2, with our pop-up labs set to expand to Singapore and the UK.
All of this access comes by being a member of lab community!
