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

Canada’s Minister for AI and Digital Innovation, Evan Solomon, added: “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.”

meant less power was used, and the results were delivered more quickly.”
