42nd edition of largest tech shows to welcome more than 5,000 companies to explore and experiment in a decentralised future of the internet and a sustainable global digital economy

His Excellency Omar Al Olama: “My office has partnered with GITEX to ensure that we’re not just showcasing technology, but inventing and developing technology”

Dubai will transform into the ultimate digital epicentre of the world next month, as the UAE hosts the world’s largest tech show, converging the most advanced companies and best minds to deep dive into the making of the Web 3.0 economy.

From 10-14 October 2022 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, GITEX GLOBAL returns, its largest ever edition featuring 5,000 companies spanning 26 halls and two million sq. ft of exhibition space, at an extraordinary 25 percent year-on-year increase, pushing its capacity limit at the venue.

Scale of GITEX GLOBAL 2022 reflects digital ambitions of UAE and the region

The five-day event’s record size and continued expansion mirrors the ambitions of the UAE and region’s digital transformation movement, as government initiatives such as the National Program for Coders, the Dubai Metaverse Strategy, and Next GenFDI propels the UAE to the forefront of the global digital economy.

This is amplified by new GITEX GLOBAL 2022 launches of X-VERSE sponsored by TMRW Foundation in collaboration with Decentraland, one of the world’s most immersive metaverse journeys featuring 28 experiential brands; and Global DevSlam, the Middle East’s largest ever coder and developer meetup, both of which sold-out to a global audience within two months.

UAE companies also held the lion’s share of a record-breaking US$2.6 billion in start-up funding across the Middle East and North Africa in 2021, figures that underscore an additional hall and 30 percent increase to 1,000 exhibitors at GITEX GLOBAL’s start-up event, North Star.

His Excellency Omar Al Olama, Minister of State for AI, Digital Economy & Remote Work Applications, who delivered the welcome note at the official GITEX GLOBAL 2022 press conference today, said: “GITEX this year is bigger than ever. It spans two million sq. ft. with over 5,000 exhibitors from more than 90 countries, which makes this truly the biggest tech show in the world. This year, my office has partnered with GITEX to ensure that we’re not just showcasing technology, but inventing and developing technology.”

Global interest accelerates UAE and region as a rising tech hub of the world:

GITEX GLOBAL 2022 will welcome an unprecedented 52 percent new exhibitors this year choosing the show and the UAE as the first-choice partner in their market access strategies.

Influential UAE entities inspire R&D in transformative technologies:

UAE companies are shaking up the global tech scene with their bold undertakings and commitments in tech R&D and inventions, including Technology Innovation Institute (TII) a leading global scientific institution and the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council.

World’s largest Public-Private Partnership creation platform:

GITEX unifies the participation of 250 government entities leading strategic digital projects and public-private partnerships, with Digital Dubai Authority and Abu Dhabi Digital Authority among the UAE government bodies advancing smart city and digital projects.

H.E. Tariq Al Janahi, Acting CEO, Digital Dubai Authority, said: “Following the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, to digitalize life in the city, this year Digital Dubai’s participation at GITEX GLOBAL 2022, in partnership with 32 government and seven private sector partners, will showcase the latest digitalization solutions built by Dubai Government, also displaying future plans to build a holistic city-wide digital ecosystem ensuring Dubai becomes a global benchmark for building digital economies.”

H.E. Mansoor Al Marzooqi, Executive Director, Strategy & Innovation Sector, at Abu Dhabi Digital Authority, pointed out that the Abu Dhabi Government Pavilion at GITEX will be an advanced digital technology platform bringing together more than 30 government and academic entities, showcasing more than 100 innovative projects that highlight the Abu Dhabi government’s key achievements in the field of digital transformation.

“GITEX Global 2022 is a global tech platform that gives the Abu Dhabi government the opportunity to showcase new digital initiatives in government services, digital government solutions, data and artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital enablement, all of which have been carefully developed to further strengthen Abu Dhabi’s digital capabilities, enabling, supporting and delivering a digital government that is proactive, personalized, collaborative and secure,” said H.E Al Marzooqi.

GITEX unveils world’s first public flight of eVTOL flying car X2:

XPENG, a leading tech company and EV manufacturer that designs, develops, manufactures and markets intelligent mobility solutions, has chosen GITEX GLOBAL 2022 to host an exclusive world’s first public flight of its pioneering eVTOL flying car X2 with the support of official partner, the Dubai Chamber of Commerce.

The avantgarde two-seater eVTOL flying car X2 is equipped with an intelligent flight control system and autonomous flight capabilities and is the latest generation of flying cars developed independently by XPENG’s affiliate XPENG AEROHT.

Dr. Brian Gu, Vice Chairman and President of XPENG, said the X2 produces zero carbon dioxide emissions during flight, and is designed with low-altitude city capabilities in mind, reaching a maximum flight speed of 130kms per hour.

The GITEX 3.0 edition features seven tech themes: North Star Dubai start-ups, Ai Everything, Future Blockchain Summit in association with VARA, Fintech Surge, Marketing Mania and two sell-out new launches of GLOBAL DevSlam and X-VERSE.

“2022 is associated with many transformative trends like Metaverse and third generation web technologies that are unknown, amorphous and bourgeoning,” added LohMirmand.  “These and other frontier techs can only finally impact our societies when there’s large scale expert discourses, collaborations and experimentations by protagonists and detractors. This is GITEX 3.0, where the decentralisation of the economy puts the power in the hands of every delegate in GITEX to participate in the shaping of our urban future.

The World’s Largest Tech Show Expands to New Heights, Showcasing the Future of AI and UAE’s Vision for Technology

Businesses across the world are greeting up to embark on an exhilarating journey into the heart of technological innovation as GITEX Global 2023, the 43rd edition of the world’s most iconic tech exhibition, opens its doors in the vibrant city of Dubai. This extraordinary event, a four-decade-strong pillar of the tech industry, is set to unite visionaries, investors, and tech enthusiasts from across the globe. With the theme “Imagine AI in Everything,” GITEX Global 2023 promises an immersive exploration of artificial intelligence’s far-reaching influence on modern life.

GITEX Global 2023 is poised to make history as it expands across not one but two colossal venues in Dubai – the Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Harbour. An astounding 41 halls of exhibition space will house tech giants and trailblazing startups specialising in AI, Cybersecurity, Mobility, Sustainable Tech, and a cornucopia of other cutting-edge fields.

Innovation Unleashed
Tech aficionados, industry leaders, and innovators are on the edge, eagerly awaiting five days of mind-bending conferences, hands-on workshops, carefully curated networking opportunities, and the chance to forge game-changing business partnerships. But that’s not all – attendees will also witness the unveiling of the latest technological wonders, some of which are still hidden from the public eye.
What sets GITEX Global 2023 apart is its unparalleled thematic focus on artificial intelligence. Over the past year, AI has stealthily infiltrated every facet of our lives, from healthcare and finance to transportation and entertainment, transforming industries and enhancing efficiency. GITEX Global 2023 aims to showcase the potential and reality of AI applications, revealing how they are slashing operating costs and revolutionising business operations.

“Earlier this year, we witnessed an astonishing 464% surge in email-based phishing attacks during the first half of 2023 compared to the previous year, all while the UAE maintained its position as the region’s cybersecurity stronghold. At GITEX 2023, Acronis is dedicated to meeting the pressing demand for robust cyber protection solutions in the Middle East, where research predicts cybercrime damage will escalate to $100 billion by 2025.
Furthermore, Acronis will discuss the prudent utilization of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Quantum Computing, and 5G. These technologies, including deepfake in phishing attacks, cybercrime, and cyber threats, will be examined closely. Acronis takes pride in showcasing cutting-edge innovations in cyber protection, with a substantial focus on leveraging AI to combat cyberattacks” said Ziad Nasr, General Manager, Acronis Middle East.

A Festival of Innovation

The GITEX Global 2023 experience extends far beyond the main event. It’s a sprawling ecosystem comprising ten co-located shows, each an adventure in its own right. These include GITEX Global, AI Everything, GITEX Impact, Future Urbanism, GLOBAL Devslam, Superbridge Summit Dubai, Expand North Star, Fintech Surge, Future Blockchain Summit, and Marketing Mania. What unites them all is the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of discovery.

“This is our third consecutive year participating at GITEX, and we’re excited about what’s in store. Exhibitions like these give us a great opportunity and platform to interact with people and potential customers and highlight what Cloudera can do by showing them the product experience first-hand.

Our focus at Gitex this year is on bringing Large Language Models (LLM) to companies instead of getting their data to the LLM. Cloudera enables customers to manage and unlock value from their data across private and public cloud environments. Generative AI and LLMs are only as good as the data they’ve been trained on, and they need the right context. For these models and AI to succeed, it must be trusted. And trusting AI starts with trusting your data.” said Ahmad Shakora, Group Vice President of Emerging Markets – Middle East, Turkey and Africa – at Cloudera.

UAE’s Vision for Tech

The core of GITEX Global 2023 lies in the United Arab Emirates’ vision for AI and technology. As the UAE continues to invest in groundbreaking technology and nurture an ecosystem where tech startups can thrive, the event is a testament to the nation’s commitment to becoming a global technology epicentre.
The countdown to GITEX Global 2023 is reaching its climax, and the excitement is palpable. This is the event where imaginations will run wild, innovations will take centre stage, and the future of technology will be unveiled. Brace yourself for a whirlwind five days of tech-driven excellence as GITEX Global 2023 invites the world to “Imagine AI in Everything.”
