Mamadou Kwidjim Toure, CEO of Ubuntu Tribe, participated in Abu Dhabi Finance Week, a four-day event that drew prominent entrepreneurs, global decision-makers, and institutional investors overseeing a combined $63 trillion in assets. Prior to ADFW, he joined Binance founder CZ and gold advocate Peter Schiff at Binance Blockchain Week Dubai to discuss Bitcoin versus gold. “That debate makes good headlines,” he said, “But most allocators aren’t picking sides anymore. Both assets have a role, and tokenization makes it practical to hold them together.”

Toure appeared as a panel speaker at the Global AI Show, on the “Intelligence on Chain: Exploring the Synergy Between AI and Web3” session, examining how artificial intelligence and blockchain can work together to build more transparent and scalable systems. The discussion covered on-chain governance, data ownership, and what institutions should consider as AI-native Web3 applications move beyond early experimentation.

He also sat down for a live interview with The Crypto Radio, where he spoke about Ubuntu Tribe’s mission and how emerging markets are shaping the next wave of Web3 adoption. “I’ve been to a lot of these events. Abu Dhabi felt different,” he said, noting that institutions are curious about ethical Web3 infrastructure, governance, and accountability. If decision logic lives on-chain, you can see it, audit it, and challenge it—that resonates with us and underscores why we built Ubuntu Tribe the way we did.

For Toure, the event reinforced Abu Dhabi’s growing position as a meeting point for global capital, forward-thinking regulation, and emerging-market innovation. Ubuntu Tribe is a Web3 platform focused on financial inclusion and transparent asset ownership. The company is part of the Ubuntu Group, which has processed over $300 million in precious metals transactions across five continents over the past decade. Founder Mamadou Kwidjim Toure was named one of Forbes’ Top 10 Most Influential Men in Africa and is a recipient of the World Economic Forum Young Global Leader award.
