Gitex to host largest Israeli tech biz delegation

dubai — Gitex Technology Week, the largest gathering of industry majors in the region, will host the first and largest Israeli technology business delegation in the UAE next month, said the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), organiser of the exhibition.

“The Dubai World Trade Centre looks forward to welcoming the biggest business delegation from Israel and all attendees to Gitex. The summit is opened to Gitex attendees interested in the overarching impact of tech partnerships in the region. Delegates benefit from face-to-face meetings with key influencers and decision makers,” it said in an e-mail.

“Following the momentous bilateral trade development agreement, the DWTC and the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute, will jointly present the inaugural ‘Gitex

UAE-Israel Future Digital Economy Summit’ on the 40th anniversary of Gitex, the UAE’s most influential technology event and one of the largest in the world,” it added.

The UAE and Israel have normalised relations and signed the Abraham Accord on September 15 in Washington DC. Their airlines will start bilateral air services between the two countries, which will give fillip to trade ties.

The DWTC said ministers, senior government officials, policymakers, experts, investors and business leaders from both countries will share ambitions, achievements and their innovation acceleration roadmaps for the first time in a mega business convention during the summit. Gitex will be the only global tech event in 2020 presented live and in-person in Dubai, and will run from December 6 to 10. The summit aggregates vast opportunities in tech innovation exploration, capacity building, investments and co-creation partnership opportunities.
