A global tech ecosystem in motion
GITEX has served as the innovation pulse of the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It has transformed into a multiconference in which ideas and opportunities can come together and connect. It will extend across the major convention centres, namely the Dubai World Trade Centre, with a grand set-up of 40-plus exhibition halls that ensure unrivalled magnitude and accessibility.
Innovation zones and immersive tracks
The visitors will have a chance to visit innovation-packed places that are curated to introduce major technologies in context and depth. The GITEX ecosystem also includes 11 colocated events, including GITEX Cyber Valley, Quantum Expo and Marketing Mania. These deliver cross-disciplinary learning and exponential networking value.
Conversations that shape tomorrow
A rich programme of live-action workshops and high-impact keynotes ensures attendees do not just witness the future but also build it. Themes include the global race for AI and semiconductor leadership, real-world cybersecurity innovations, and the architecture of smart mobility and circular economies.
Expect 200,000 visitors from 170-plus countries representing leaders from government, industry, start-ups and youth-driven innovation scenes. This provides one of the richest ecosystems for digital progress worldwide.
Catalysing start-ups and national tech visions
GITEX has been viewed as the country’ s technological ambitions and a haven for start-ups. The new ventures are exposed to larger partners, which enable them to raise funds and form partnerships with industry leaders worldwide. By using platforms such as Expand North Star, investors have an opportunity to hear the ideas of the early-stage companies and compete for the chance to get a boost in their growth.
