GITEX goes global.

GITEX AI Europe brings Dubai’s platform to Berlin.

On 30 June and 1 July, GITEX AI Europe lands at Messe Berlin with 2,500 exhibitors, 1,500 startups and 1,200 investors from over 100 countries. Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre, the event is explicitly framed around AI deployment, digital sovereignty and cross-border collaboration between Europe and the Gulf. For European founders who have not yet engaged with the GCC ecosystem, this is the most accessible entry point of 2026.

The GITEX universe is a deliberate infrastructure.

The circuit spanning Dubai, Berlin and Marrakech positions Dubai as the connective tissue between European innovation and Gulf capital. The sectors championed across these events, including AI, quantum, digital health, and cybersecurity, map directly onto the UAE’s RDI priority areas and the investment themes driving European deep tech right now.
