Kevin O‘Leary on the future of finance and Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi could be "the Switzerland" of financial technology thanks to its regulatory environment and agile government, according to Kevin O'Leary, but he is quick to add he is still doing his due diligence.

The celebrity investor, who made his name on the US reality show Shark Tank, joins co-host Kelsey Warner this week to talk about investing in decentralised finance, Web 3.0 and what he has learned on this visit to the UAE.

Mr O'Leary also talks about why he is putting his name behind Access Abu Dhabi, an initiative which will help US entrepreneurs, particularly women and minorities, expand to the Middle East.
