UAE’s $3.7 billion tech economy takes spotlight in Berlin at inaugural GITEX

EUROPE

Europe’s largest inaugural tech, startup and digital investment event, GITEX EUROPE x Ai Everything, was held at Messe
Berlin this week, with the UAE’s innovation taking centre stage.

The three-day show, which concludes today, brought together more than 1,400 exhibitors, 600 top global investors and over
500 speakers from 100-plus countries, together marking the strongest cross-border tech mobilisation the continent has seen.
National pavilions stretched from India to Italy, Morocco to South Korea and 35 European states, alongside participation from
the UAE showcasing how the nation is becoming a global reference for technology advancement across multiple industries

including governance and public service.

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.
