GITEX 2025, widely billed as the world’s largest technology and AI event, was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in Dubai. The 45th edition of the expo brings together global tech leaders, startups, innovators, and governments to showcase breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and future technologies.
Attendance is expected to shatter previous records, making it a central hub for partnerships, investments, and cross-border collaboration. The event aligns with the UAE’s ambition to establish itself as a global innovation hub, while offering a platform for participants from around the world to present breakthroughs—from AI models and robotics to fintech, smart cities, and climate tech.
Global delegations from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Africa are participating, and the expo includes a mix of exhibitions, panel talks, hackathons, and startup pitch competitions. Many regional tech firms—especially from South Asia—see GITEX as a launching pad to attract international attention and funding.
For Indian, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, and Bhutanese audiences, the expo presents an opportunity for their tech ecosystems to gain visibility, network with global players, and explore collaborations. Publications in those countries often highlight local startups participating in GITEX, bringing regional innovation stories to broader markets.
