GITEX Global prides itself on bringing together all players across the value chain including big tech, startups, and SMBs, as well as public-private partnerships with 400+ government & digital development entities from 180+ countries. In fact, there are 44 halls across two locations; Dubai World Trade Centre (GITEX Global) and Dubai Harbour (Expand North Star).

It’s a global marketplace that has acted as the foundation to launch into new markets. First, GITEX AFRICA debuted in Marrakech, Morocco, in 2023 and had already established itself as the largest tech and startup show in Africa by its second edition in 2024. Next year, there are new shows with AI Everything Dubai & Abu Dhabi, GITEX EUROPE, and GITEX NIGERIA.
