DUBAI, 26th April, 2023 (WAM) -- Integrate Middle East, a significant new learning and networking event for the
entire Pro AV and System Integration value chain, is set to highlight the rapid development of the education and training
technology (EdTech) market, for the first time at the Dubai World Trade Centre, from 16th to 18th May, 2023.
As more schools and corporates across the region are adopting technological classroom and training solutions due to
worldwide trends for home and remote learning, the market for EdTech and “smart classrooms” has been expanding
with an increase in demand for e-learning solutions and connected device usage in educational settings.
The global EdTech market is projected to reach US$333.327 billion in the next four years, according to the “EdTech &
Smart Classroom Market Intelligence Report - Global Forecast to 2027” released by MarketResearch.com. Factors
driving this include an increasing number of schools choosing digital educational tools and resources over physical ones,
as they improve student outcomes and enable more personalised learning, according to market intelligence provider ISC
Research.
Investors globally are recognising the potential of this market in the Middle East and Africa, and by 2027, it is anticipated
that in the MENA, the sector will be worth AED26 billion ($7 billion). Regionwide, Egypt currently has the largest share
in growing EdTech ecosystems, with 1,500 Edtech companies, followed by the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Furthermore, the region is home to a budding start-up ecosystem that has been developing specific EdTech solutions that
use innovative technological advancements like blockchain, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial
intelligence (AI), and robotics. The maturity of the UAE’s education industry will further support the implementation of
digitalisation in higher education. The country’s government has been making tremendous efforts to promote technology
in schools, with numerous initiatives that foster a future-focused learning ecosystem that is one of the fastest growing
regionally.
Integrate Middle East will establish a special focus on Pro AV systems to support the EdTech community and promote
its integration into the larger entertainment business and several other vertical markets. The full spectrum of AV
technology providers, including digital signage, displays, and solutions, are all available for visitors to explore. With the
Integrate Middle East Summit addressing critical subject areas and advancing the future of education, visitors can further
