UAE's $3.7 billion tech economy takes spotlight in Berlin at inaugural GITEX EUROPE
Europe's largest inaugural tech, startup and digital investment event, GITEX EUROPE x Ai Everything, was held at Messe Berlin this week, with the UAE's innovation taking centre stage. The three-day show, which concluded on Friday, brought together more than 1,400 exhibitors, 600 top global investors and over 500 speakers from 100-plus countries, together marking the strongest cross-border tech mobilisation the continent has seen. National pavilions stretched from India to Italy, Morocco to South Korea and 35 European states, alongside participation from the UAE showcasing how the nation is becoming a global reference for technology advancement across multiple industries including governance and public service. The UAE's IT services market is forecast to achieve record growth to reach $3.76 billion in 2025, according to fresh Statista data, a momentum that was impossible to miss on a show floor featuring 65 UAE organisations - the nation's biggest ever entrepreneurship and digital investment delegation to a European tech event. The Ministry of Economy pavilion presented a cohort of home-grown tech ventures aimed squarely at addressing global challenges. Among them is Zeroe, delivering comprehensive carbon management to accelerate net zero goals; Hikmah Labs, merging AI with cutting-edge research to transform industries; IngenioData, deploying AR and BLE based indoor navigation, asset tracking and analytics; and Responsive Drip Irrigation, creators of the world's first plant-responsive irrigation system, which allows the plant to self-regulate its own water delivery. Among the dignitaries inaugurating the momentous first European edition, Alia Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, shared in her welcome address: 'Germany is now the UAE's second largest trading partner within the EU. And Berlin as a global capital of innovation plays a central role in that story. It mirrors the trajectory; dynamic, diverse, and globally connected. Together, we are shaping a new economic corridor, one powered by innovation and grounded in common purpose.' Joining the UAE delegation were Hazza Al Mansoori, the first Emirati astronaut to travel to space and Nora Al Matrooshi, the first female Emirati astronaut. Hazza Al Mansouri shared insights on the aerospace evolution in a media briefing, 'Artificial intelligence in space is something that we are experimenting with. For example, Simon, a floating robot, and making the lunar gateway, the space station more autonomous, because it's not going to be inhabited all the time.' Organised by Digital Dubai, the Dubai Pavilion highlights the city's AI-powered evolution and advanced public services featuring 12 key government and private entities, including, Digital Dubai, Dubai Police, General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs (GDIFA), Dubai Civil Defense, DIFC Courts, the Dubai Electronic Security Center, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, Dubai Customs, Dubai Future Foundation, and Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), alongside e& and Emaratech as Platinum Partners. Among the top innovations on show include the Dubai Dashboard, a unified city-wide platform offering a 360-degree view of data and indicators across various city sectors; alongside the Dubai Monitor, DubaiNow, Smart Employee, and UAE PASS, the national digital ID that enables secure identity verification for citizens through facial recognition tech. Dubai Police presented its autonomous policing ecosystem including Ghaith, a smart patrol car. Also on showcase was Salama, an AI-powered platform that streamlines Dubai's residency services with automated renewals and instant visa assistance - making government interaction seamless and future-ready.

Whether adopting off-the-shelf AI models or investing in sovereign systems, the key lies in speed, agility and our ability to remain globally connected.

Gitex Europe to focus on military cyber attacks and humanoid robots
The global expansion of one of Dubai's conference circuit success stories continues next week as Gitex Europe gets under way in Berlin from Wednesday. Technology is at the heart of the three-day exhibition, with a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence and its interaction with public services and government operations. The Gitex Europe x Ai Everything event will feature international speakers on cybersecurity, the military and defence, as well as how technology is addressing environmental challenges around the world. The event will be held at the Messe Berlin exhibition grounds, and follows previous editions of Gitex that have taken place in Morocco, Nigeria, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Start-up companies heavily feature in the show, as up-and-coming tech firms vie for investment into their products and services. Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, director general of Digital Dubai, will be speaking at the conference to discuss how technology and AI has been implemented in the UAE, and how expertise can be shared with the world. 'We attach exceptional importance to global partnerships, as they are key to our strategy to ease the lives of people and businesses, and to realise our vision of digitalising life in Dubai,' he said. 'Global engagement has always been a cornerstone of Dubai's digital transformation journey, as reflected in our active participation in international platforms and events like Gitex Europe.' Mr Al Mansoori will be speaking on AI first nations at the Global Leaders summit on Wednesday, May 21. The Dubai Pavilion will feature 12 key government and private entities including Digital Dubai, Dubai Police, the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs, Dubai Civil Defence, DIFC Courts, the Dubai Electronic Security Centre, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism and Dubai Customs. Previous Gitex events have included world firsts - such as a look inside Morocco's home grown off-road vehicle produced by Neo Motors at the first Gitex Africa exhibition in 2023. Highlights of the upcoming Berlin show may include insight into how the German military is protecting against cyberattacks, and the merits of humanoid robots and how they could interact with everyday life. Other speakers include Stuart Frost, who is head of enterprise security and risk management with the UK government, who will be joining a panel discussion on the role of AI in cybersecurity policy.
