10/14/25, 8:54 AM GITEX GLOBAL 2025: OpenAI, G42, and Microsoft lead landmark dialogues on co-creating AI-native societies
McKinsey reports that 92 percent of companies are accelerating their AI spending in 2025, intensifying
the pressure to deliver tangible business value from AI. Addressing this, Peter Koerte, CTO & CSO of
Siemens, shares the how-to on turning the complexity of industrial AI into a competitive business
advantage. Zulfi Alam, corporate VP for Quantum at Microsoft (USA), shifts the conversation to human
capital, outlining how enterprises, academia and government must collaborate to develop a quantum-
ready workforce.

Representing the hardware bloc, Qualcomm’s President and SVP Government Affairs EMEA, Wassim
Chourbaji lends new perspectives on unlocking macro-prosperity through alignment on chip and AI
strategies. As IBM scales quantum and AI infrastructure across over 100 countries, Ana Paula Assis,
SVP, chair & GM EMEA & Growth Markets at IBM, offers a rare, multilayered preview of business and
governance in the quantum-AI era.

Unicorns reshaping compute, energy & neural network

Pioneering founders bring intricate visions of AI’s future economics. Andrew Feldman, CEO of
Cerebras, shares the success strategy to scale from startup to IPO, while Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus
Energy, a $10 billion AI unicorn, challenges the room with the energy-AI paradox – questioning whether
the infrastructure race is sustainable at current trajectories.

Ramin Hasani, CEO of Liquid AI, unveils liquid neural networks – a breakthrough inspired by the brain
of a microscopic worm – that promises more adaptable, efficient AI systems. Across these exchanges,
the themes are clear: speed vs. sustainability, scale vs. flexibility, established vs. emerging paradigms.
