Dubai, UAE—28 May 2025—Intent HQ, a strategic partner of Seed Group, is proud to be a leading sponsor of the 4th Annual Future Banks Summit 2025. Held under the theme ‘Digital Innovations Shaping the Future of Banking’, the event will take place from 17 to 18 June 2025 at Conrad Dubai. Notably, Jonathan Woolf, Chief Revenue Officer at Intent HQ, is among the distinguished speakers at the summit.
The 4th edition of the summit will gather more than 300 senior leaders from the banking and financial services sector to explore AI, automation, data analytics, and next-generation customer engagement. An international panel of industry experts will deliver strategic perspectives on regulatory technology and overall customer-centric innovation in the MENA region.
As part of the expert speaker line-up, Woolf will explore how financial institutions can harness AI to deliver hyper-personalised customer experiences that drive loyalty, reduce churn, and increase lifetime value. He will spotlight Intent HQ’s patented proprietary innovations—Intent Edge, the industry’s first mobile engagement SDK powered by Edge AI, and the Customer Intent Engine, a privacy-first AI platform that transforms first-party and transactional data into deep, human-level insights. These technologies enable banks to act with precision and empathy, engaging customers not just at the right time but for the right reasons.
This participation follows the strategic alliance between Intent HQ and Seed Group, a company of The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum. The firm’s participation in the banking summit exhibits its commitment to re-engineering customer analytics in the industry and scaling its presence in MENA.

Jonathan Woolf, Chief Revenue Officer of Intent HQ, remarked, “The future of banking isn’t just digital — it’s deeply human. At Intent HQ, we’re proving that AI can go beyond automation to build empathy at scale. Our technology enables financial institutions and service providers to not only deliver hyper-personalised experiences but also make smarter, faster decisions in areas like fraud prevention and credit risk. By turning complex customer data into actionable foresight — ethically and securely — we’re helping banks deepen trust, reduce risk, and drive meaningful growth and loyalty in an era of heightened expectation.”
Hisham Al Gurg, CEO of Seed Group and The Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, expressed support for Intent HQ’s contributions to MENA’s banking and financial technology.
