De Bacci Capital was pleased to participate in Wiki Finance Expo Dubai 2025 at the Millennium Plaza Downtown Hotel.
Recognised as one of the Middle East’s major gatherings dedicated to fintech, forex, digital assets, Web3 and artificial intelligence, the Expo brought together thousands of participants, including institutional investors, family offices, fund managers, financial executives, regulators, founders, technology innovators and representatives of the international financial-services industry.
The programme featured more than 50 speakers and 70 exhibitors, creating an international forum for discussing the technologies, investment structures and regulatory developments reshaping global finance. Contributors included prominent financial and institutional leaders such as Yiannos Ashiotis, Group Managing Partner of Pnyx Hill and Chairman of Revolut Digital Assets Europe; Hasnae Taleb, Managing Partner of Mintiply Capital; Syed Sitwat Rizvi, an international specialist in structured and sustainable finance; and numerous representatives of investment funds, fintech companies, digital-asset platforms and international institutions.
Representing De Bacci Capital, Countessina Anna De Bacci joined the panel discussion “From Traditional Finance to Alternative Investments: Diversified Layout of Family Wealth”:
The Evolution of Family Wealth
The panel examined how family offices and private investors are moving beyond traditional asset classes and incorporating private equity, venture capital, fintech, digital assets and other alternative investments into increasingly diversified portfolios.
Family wealth is undergoing a significant transformation. While capital preservation, governance and long-term stability remain fundamental priorities, investors are increasingly considering opportunities in private markets, emerging technologies and new financial structures capable of creating sustainable value across generations.
During the discussion, Countessina Anna De Bacci shared De Bacci Capital’s perspective on building investment strategies that combine heritage, discipline and responsible stewardship with an informed understanding of innovation and evolving markets.
For family offices, diversification is no longer limited to allocating capital between conventional asset classes. It increasingly includes direct investments, co-investment structures, private equity, venture capital, digital infrastructure, fintech, tokenisation and carefully selected digital-asset opportunities.
Supporting Entrepreneurs Across Finance and Fintech
De Bacci Capital works closely with entrepreneurs and companies operating across finance, fintech, digital assets and the wider technology landscape.
Our role includes helping selected businesses strengthen their investment positioning, prepare for engagement with investors and develop meaningful relationships with family offices, private equity groups, venture funds, strategic investors and institutional partners.
Through our international network, entrepreneurs can engage with relevant decision-makers across the Middle East, Europe, the United States and Asia. Particular attention is given to ensuring alignment between each opportunity and the investor’s mandate, sector preferences and long-term objectives.
Successful capital formation requires more than visibility. It depends upon credible positioning, appropriate investor selection, careful preparation and the development of trusted relationships.

The Growing Role of Alternative Investments
The discussion reflected a wider movement taking place across private wealth and institutional investment.
Alternative investments are becoming an increasingly important component of diversified portfolios. Private equity, venture capital, infrastructure, private credit, digital assets and tokenised real-world assets can offer access to innovation and long-term growth that may not be available through public markets alone.
At the same time, these opportunities require a disciplined approach. Governance, due diligence, liquidity, regulatory compliance and risk management remain essential, particularly as traditional finance becomes more closely connected with digital and decentralised financial infrastructure.
Family offices are also becoming more active participants in private markets. Many are investing directly, joining co-investment structures and collaborating with other families, funds and specialist managers. This creates a more interconnected investment environment in which knowledge, trusted relationships and sector expertise are increasingly valuable.
Dealmaking in an Interconnected Investment Ecosystem
One of the central themes emerging from the Expo was the importance of collaboration across the international investment ecosystem.
Today’s financial landscape brings together family offices, private equity and venture capital funds, banks, asset managers, technology companies, regulators and entrepreneurs. Effective dealmaking often depends upon cooperation between several of these participants, particularly in cross-border transactions and emerging sectors.
Relationships built over time allow investors to exchange perspectives, assess opportunities collectively and explore co-investment structures. For entrepreneurs, these connections can provide access not only to capital, but also to strategic guidance, market expertise and international partnerships.
Events such as Wiki Finance Expo provide an important environment for these relationships to develop through direct dialogue between those allocating capital and those building the next generation of financial and technological businesses.
Dubai as a Centre for Financial Innovation
Wiki Finance Expo Dubai 2025 further demonstrated Dubai’s growing importance as an international centre for fintech, digital assets, private investment and financial innovation.
The city’s ability to convene entrepreneurs, investors, regulators and financial institutions from around the world continues to strengthen the UAE’s position as a bridge between established financial markets and new investment opportunities.
De Bacci Capital was honoured to contribute to this important dialogue and to exchange perspectives with fellow leaders on the future of family wealth, portfolio diversification and alternative investments.
The discussions highlighted a clear direction for the global investment landscape: greater diversification, deeper international collaboration and a considered integration of traditional finance with the technologies and asset classes shaping its future.
