Investment

Anselm Godinho, managing director of International Conferences and Exhibitions, the organiser of the event, said: “Getex comes at a time when investment in education is at its all-time high across the Arab World. Many regional governments are now prioritising and heavily investing in education infrastructure as part of their transition towards a knowledge- and innovationdriven economy. We hope to contribute to this growth by providing a global platform where all stakeholders can get a buy-in from end users and advance their education offerings to address regional trends.”

Getex will provide a smart and interactive recruitment platform connecting educational institutions and professional training providers with young and mature learners, in addition to free seminars addressing a range of student issues and interactive learning sessions.

University representatives from Canada, Egypt, India, Lebanon, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Switzerland, the UK, and the US will be present.
