CXO Insight Middle East - October 2021

Bu sayıda

The much-awaited Expo has started with a bang, and the region’s biggest tech show is just around the corner. With almost all Covid-19 curbs lifted, I am excited to meet the key industry players face to face and get insights into the trends shaping the future of the technology landscape in the region. This year’s Gitex is also going to be a special one for us because we have our inaugural ICT Leadership Awards on the first day of the show. Rifling through some of the transformative IT projects to pick winners has been an eye-opening experience for me. True to the saying that adversity can be the mother of invention, the pandemic has fueled tech innovation in a scale never seen before. From cloud to automation to mobile applications, we have seen an accelerated adoption and modernisation of technologies, which helped make businesses in the region more resilient in the face of pandemic-induced disruptions. It would be fair to say every business is a digital business today, and these new technologies will have a lasting impact even after the pandemic.
