The world’s first firefighting drone, the first autonomous electric truck and Microsoft’s AI innovations–these are just a few of the incredible technological breakthroughs revealed at GITEX 2018. The 2019 edition promises to be bigger and bolder with a line up of creative exhibitors, unparalleled networking opportunities and future-forward talks on the evolving landscape of technology.

GITEX is the biggest technology show in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA). It gives international vendors access to a fast-growing market, predicted to reach $168.8 billion by 2020. The weeklong exhibition is the ultimate place to target new business opportunities, engage country delegations for public sector partnerships and engage primary decision makers.

Peruse the latest creations by established innovators and brand new startups, and attend demos of augmented, virtual and mixed realities targeting key industries like tourism, automotive and education. If you’re interested in keeping up-to-date with the latest developments, you can attend free conferences on how to advance your business and stay ahead of the competition.

The 39th GITEX Technology Week will take place from 6-10 October at Dubai World Trade Centre. It runs alongside GITEX Future Stars, an exhibition showcasing emerging startups in the tech field.
