GITEX Global 2022 and DevGate

GITEX GLOBAL (Gulf Information Technology Exhibition) is the world’s largest tech show, organised by, and taking place at, the Dubai World Trade Centre in the United Arab Emirates.

Over the years, GITEX GLOBAL has enhanced its international influence, expanding its footprint beyond the Middle East and reaching a far wider audience from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America. The event has also become an annual agenda for biggest names in the global tech world, including Microsoft, Huawei, IBM, Dell Technologies, Ericsson, Avaya, Honeywell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, e&, Lenovo and Cisco.

With the participation of more than 250 government entities leading strategic digital projects and public-private partnerships and over 1,000 speakers across 14 dedicated conference tracks delivering 500-plus hours of engaging content, GITEX GLOBAL unites the world’s most influential ecosystems advancing business, economy, society and culture

Being a preferred hub for high-tech companies, Dubai has now set its sights firmly on becoming a global hub for the metaverse community. It is no wonder that Dubai ranks number one globally for foreign direct investment (FDI) and technology transfer in the AI and robotics sectors. It is noteworthy that the Dubai Metaverse Strategy aims to turn the emirate into one of the world’s top 10 metaverse economies.

Interestingly, the year 2022 is being referred to as the year of the ‘Rise of the Metaverse’ and rightly so. It also marks the start of the Web 3.0 Revolution. What we are witnessing currently is next level technology disruption that is opening the doors to the next Digital Universe, and this was the very crux of this year’s iconic technology event, GITEX Global. Held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from October 10-14th, the largest edition till date, the event saw the coming together of the world’s technology community on a single platform.

It was an extraordinary five days with revolutionary developments, innovative technologies, futuristic solutions, driverless cars, AI-driven products and incredible robots. The 42nd installation of GITEX Global, the UAE’s annual tech event, began on October 10 and ended on October 14.

Some of the key highlights of the 42nd edition of GITEX included the flying car, driverless taxi, holographic human, robots, and the new generation of virtual reality headsets, Hololens 2 by Microsoft, among others. However, what completely stole the show was the X-VERSE. Inspired by the Dubai Government’s vision and roadmap to become one of the top 10 cities globally in the Meta-verse economy, X-VERSE united the world’s most advanced tech ecosystems to empower diverse industries within the meta-verse.

The event featured a global lineup of companies and startups, showcasing innovative solutions across the meta-verse, artificial intelligence (AI), Web3, block-chain, 6G, cloud computing, fin-tech and big data. Here are some key highlights from Gitex Global.
RTA Dubai signed five MOUs with regional and international technology companies. It forged partnerships with the private sector and harnessing advanced technology solutions in running operations.

GITEX is a great event to witness if you are nearby or if you are working in the technology domain. This event provides incredible networking opportunities, global exposure, more sales, and investments. However, it is not a fancy technology show where robots perform and drones fly around – it’s not an event for leisure or entertainment. Unless you are passionate about technology, in which case GITEX would be a treat for you.
