Synechron opens world's first banking digital innovation center in Dubai

Technology consulting and outsourcing provider Synechron will open the world’s first digital innovation center for banking, insurance and smart government initiatives.

Acting as a hub for those who invest in the digital transformation of technology, the Synechron Digital Innovation Center (SDIC) will offer investors greater business success for the future. 

Faisal Husain, Synechron co-founder and CEO, said the company chose Dubai to launch their first Digital Innovation Center due to its central geographical location. He said the SDIC represents Synechron's long term commitment to supporting its clients in delivering true digital transformation and innovation solutions. 

“We will continue to invest heavily in this area, by hiring thought leaders and a pool of talented professionals who have worked with the latest technologies in the digital innovation space,” Husain said. 

In addition, Synechron’s Head of Innovation David Horton said the SDIC’s broad range of technologies will inspire customers to be more creative in terms of what technology can do for their businesses. 

“We expect our clients to leave fully energized and inspired, and with transformational concepts that Synechron has a track record of delivering,” Horton said.

SDIC participants will also be able to consult with experts and conceptualize a number of digital strategies to help improve their businesses with access to a "retail branch experience" of touch walls, queue management, tablets and mobile and ATM payments for an "Omni channel approach."
