Barq was proud to attend Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW), one of the region’s most influential gatherings of global leaders, innovators, investors, and policymakers shaping the future of finance and technology in the UAE.
As a UAE-born, student-built startup, our presence at ADFW marked an important milestone in Barq’s journey. The event brought together cutting-edge ideas across fintech, AI, sustainability, and digital infrastructure—areas that strongly align with our vision of building the next generation of student-focused technology.
Representing Student Innovation in the UAE
At Barq, our mission has always been clear: to enhance student life by delivering smart, accessible solutions that support learning and everyday campus experiences. From deploying power-bank vending machines across university campuses to developing StudyMate, the UAE’s AI-powered study app built on the national K2 AI model, we are committed to innovation with real-world impact.
Attending Abu Dhabi Finance Week allowed us to showcase how student-led startups can contribute meaningfully to the UAE’s innovation ecosystem. We engaged in insightful discussions around AI adoption, digital transformation, and how technology can be scaled responsibly to serve communities—especially students.
Learning, Connecting, and Looking Ahead
ADFW provided a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow founders, investors, and industry leaders who are driving the future of technology in the region. These conversations reinforced our belief that the future of education, finance, and AI is deeply interconnected—and that students should be at the center of that future.
The insights gained from Abu Dhabi Finance Week will play a key role as we continue expanding Barq’s campus infrastructure and advancing StudyMate as a fully localized, intelligent learning platform for students across the UAE.
Building the Future, Together
Our participation in Abu Dhabi Finance Week reflects Barq’s growing role within the UAE’s innovation landscape. We are excited about what lies ahead and remain committed to building technology that empowers students, supports learning, and strengthens campus life nationwide.
Your Campus. Your Power. Your Barq.
