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-focussed 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

and solutions, are all available for visitors to explore.
