What began in 1981 as a modest exhibition with 46 participants and 3,000 visitors has evolved into the world’s largest technology and startup event, drawing together the global tech community at a scale never seen before in the region.

Organised by the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), Gitex Global 2025 will span two iconic venues — Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Harbour — bringing under one banner more than 6,500 exhibitors, 1,800 startups, and 1,200 investors from over 180 countries.

The event’s growth mirrors Dubai’s own four-decade metamorphosis from a trading port into one of the world’s most connected and innovation-driven economies.
