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 said: “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 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.

Evan Solomon said: “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.”

Andrew Feldman, CEO of Cerebras, a unicorn that launched the world’s largest supercomputer for AI training in
partnership with G42, discussed how the company achieved the fastest AI inferencing speeds that could redefine
high-performance computing.

He said: “We built the largest chip in the history of the computing industry, the size of a dinner plate. By going
big on chips, we were able to keep more information on the chip and move it less. This meant less power was
used, and the results were delivered more quickly.”
