5/29/25, 5:06 PM UAE's $3.7 billion tech economy takes spotlight in Berlin at inaugural GITEX EUROPE
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.

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."
