The UAE’s technology sector is understandably emerging as one of the fastest-growing industries in the country, while also setting global benchmarks. Whether it’s artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, cloud computing, or machine learning, the country is taking giant strides in terms of innovation and progress. The rollout of 5G internet networks is facilitating the proliferation of smart services, machine-to-machine communication and connected transport. Accordingly, significant investment is being made in IT infrastructure build-out initiatives, as well as in efficiency-enabling technologies.
In line with the increased focus on the technology sector, Gulf Business is gearing to launch new products and initiatives that can offer greater insight into the sector while also highlighting its achievements. While a new magazine is set to be rolled out shortly (further details will be disclosed soon), we are also launching the GB Tech Awards next month to acknowledge the various organizations and individuals who are driving the future of the regional tech industry. Despite the fact that the past year has been extremely challenging, the biggest names in the technology industry delivered some of the best and most innovative digital products and solutions. With the GB Tech Awards, we would like to take the opportunity to toast those significant achievements.
The GB Tech Awards will honour and celebrate the success of businesses and individuals in areas such as digital transformation, cloud, cybersecurity, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, among others. The event will recognise technological and commercial innovation and entrepreneurial excellence. The awards and the categories are based on the current market trends, including:
