Third edition of Muslim Tech Fest held in London

Muslim Tech Fest 2025, a two-day event for Muslim-led startups, fintechs, and venture initiatives, opened in London over the weekend. Now in its third year, the festival aims to reimagine how faith and technology can coexist in a fast-changing industry. It drew over 1,500 entrepreneurs, developers, and investors from 27 countries. The event spotlighted Muslim excellence in technology and promoted ethical, values-driven innovation.

"Faith and innovation aren't opposites; they've always gone hand in hand," said Muslim Tech co-founder Zahid Mahmood. "We need to go back to first principles as Muslims and see how we build enterprise, technology, and innovation in a way that serves Allah."

Held with Anadolu as a global media partner, the festival featured on-stage keynotes, startup showcases, community dinners, and themed workshops, including a dedicated kids' track led by Robocode UK. Many of the UK's leading Islamic fintech firms, including Kestrl, Cur8 Capital, Islamic Finance Guru, Pfida, StrideUp and Nester, were among the exhibitors.
