GITEX Europe: A strategic platform that underscores UAE’s stature as a global hub for innovation and
technology

Her Excellency Alia Al Mazrouei highlighted that GITEX Europe marks a new chapter in the legacy of GITEX Global,

which began in Dubai over four decades ago. The event serves as a strategic platform that reinforces the UAE’s position
as a global hub for innovation and technology, while expanding opportunities for international collaboration in digital

solutions development and knowledge exchange. This in turn, supports the creation of a smarter, more sustainable, and
interconnected global economic future.

Her Excellency elaborated that the UAE Pavilion at GITEX Europe offers Emirati enterprises an unparalleled platform
to showcase their cutting-edge innovations, services, and products before business leaders and policymakers from

Germany and wider Europe. This visibility unlocks significant opportunities for market expansion and accelerated
growth within the thriving European economic landscape. Moreover, the country’s pavilion serves as a vital conduit for

fostering strong trade and investment partnerships, forging strategic alliances with the European business ecosystem,
and identifying opportunities to support the growth of SMEs. It also opens up new pathways into emerging sectors such

as artificial intelligence, sustainable technologies, industrial innovation, and digital transformation. Together, these
efforts significantly enhance the global competitiveness of Emirati exports in high-growth, future-focused industries.
