5/30/25, 2:35 PM UAE’s $3.7 billion tech economy takes spotlight in Berlin at inaugural GITEX EUROPE - Dubai 92 - The UAE's Feel Great radio stat…
The UAE’s IT services market is forecast to achieve record growth to reach $3.76 billion in 2025, according to fresh
Statista data, a momentum that was impossible to miss on a show floor featuring 65 UAE organisations - the nation’s
biggest ever entrepreneurship and digital investment delegation to a European tech event.

The Ministry of Economy pavilion presented a cohort of home-grown tech ventures aimed squarely at addressing
global challenges. Among them is Zeroe, delivering comprehensive carbon management to accelerate net zero
goals; Hikmah Labs, merging AI with cutting-edge research to transform industries; IngenioData, deploying AR and
BLE based indoor navigation, asset tracking and analytics; and Responsive Drip Irrigation, creators of the world’s

first plant-responsive irrigation system, which allows the plant to self-regulate its own water delivery.

Among the dignitaries inaugurating the momentous first European edition, Alia Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of State for
Entrepreneurship, shared in her welcome address: “Germany is now the UAE’s second largest trading partner within
the EU. And Berlin as a global capital of innovation plays a central role in that story. It mirrors the trajectory; dynamic,
diverse, and globally connected. Together, we are shaping a new economic corridor, one powered by innovation and

grounded in common purpose.”

Joining the UAE delegation were Hazza Al Mansoori, the first Emirati astronaut to travel to space and Nora Al
Matrooshi, the first female Emirati astronaut. Hazza Al Mansouri shared insights on the aerospace evolution in a
media briefing, “Artificial intelligence in space is something that we are experimenting with. For example, Simon, a

floating robot, and making the lunar gateway, the space station more autonomous, because it’s not going to be
inhabited all the time.”

Organised by Digital Dubai, the Dubai Pavilion highlights the city’s AI-powered evolution and advanced public
services featuring 12 key government and private entities, including, Digital Dubai, Dubai Police, General Directorate
of Identity and Foreigners Affairs (GDIFA), Dubai Civil Defense, DIFC Courts, the Dubai Electronic Security Center,

the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, Dubai Customs, Dubai Future Foundation, and Mohammed Bin
Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), alongside e& and Emaratech as Platinum Partners.

Among the top innovations on show include the Dubai Dashboard, a unified city-wide platform offering a 360-degree
view of data and indicators across various city sectors; alongside the Dubai Monitor, DubaiNow, Smart Employee,

and UAE PASS, the national digital ID that enables secure identity verification for citizens through facial recognition
tech. Dubai Police presented its autonomous policing ecosystem including Ghaith, a smart patrol car. Also on
showcase was Salama, an AI-powered platform that streamlines Dubai’s residency services with automated
renewals and instant visa assistance - making government interaction seamless and future-ready.
