Emirates, thanks to the forward-looking vision of its wise leadership, is not merely participating
in the global race for innovation; it is shaping its contours and cementing its foundations by

building an economic model defined by resilience and a future orientation, grounded in
knowledge and advanced technology. This strengthens the nation’s position at the forefront of

the global economic landscape.”

Shifting into the global impact of deep tech, Ekaterina Zaharieva, Commissioner for Startups,
Research and Innovation at the European Commission, joined Dr. Najwa Aaraj, CEO of
Technology Innovation Institute, the applied research pillar of the UAE’s Advanced Technology

Research Council (ATRC), to explore the influence of deep-tech ecosystems on nations.

Ekaterina Zaharieva, Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation at the European
Commission: “The European Union and the UAE share a vision to drive innovation that benefits

our citizens. We are aligned on the importance of startups and scaleups for our economies.
This journey starts at GITEX 2025.”

The “Intelligence Super-Cycle” panel brought together Hon. Evan Solomon, Canada’s Minister
for AI and Digital Innovation; and Amandeep Gill, UN Envoy for Digital Technologies, to

examine how AI is becoming the defining economic infrastructure of the century.

Hon. Evan Solomon, Minister for AI and Digital Innovation, Government of Canada: “GITEX is
an absolutely core example of entrepreneurs being launched at a speed we’ve never seen –

and we need to keep our values and build together. It’s fantastic to meet people, meet
companies, and to see our profound partnership with the UAE deepen as we share this mission

to transform AI from a trustworthy technology to one that is built for all.”
