Gitex Global 2025 concluded on Friday after a five-day surge of deal-making and breakthrough unveilings across Al, data infrastructure, cyber-security, quantum, digital health and biotech convening more than 6,800 exhibitors, 2,000 startups from 180 countries, and 1,200 investors at Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Harbour.
In 2026, Gitex is set to reshape the global tech events calendar, launching the world’s first Gitex TechCation from its new home at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai.
Running from Dec. 7-11, 2026, TechCation ushers a new chapter for the world’s largest tech and Al event, moving Gitex beyond the exhibition halls into a citywide activation of immersive experiences anchored in the midst of Dubai’s lifestyle, cultural and tourism season.
Endorsing the event as a global force in steering the UAE's Al leadership, Amr Kamel, General Manager at Microsoft UAE, commented, “The UAE is at the forefront of digital transformation, and Gitex continues to be a powerful platform driving this journey forward. The country’s visionary leadership has created an environment where innovation thrives, from embracing Al responsibly to fostering a world-class digital ecosystem that attracts global collaboration and investment.”
In one of the most anticipated sessions of the week, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAl, joined Peng Xiao, Group CEO of G42, for a landmark virtual dialogue on architecting Al-Native Societies-exploring how cross-border partnerships are shaping the foundations of the global Al economy.
