With the participation of over 250 government entities leading strategic digital projects and public-private partnerships, and over 800 startups seeking their next big break in North Star Dubai, Gitex 3.0 will unite the world’s most influential ecosystems advancing business, economy, society and culture.

“As the curious audience attempts to make sense of the real versus virtual world we are creating, Gitex Global takes the helm in partnering with global tech leaders to empower, enlighten and enthuse everyone on the metamorphosis of the digital economy,” said Trixie LohMirmand, executive vice president of Events Management at Dubai World Trade Centre, Gitex Global’s organiser.

“Gitex Global will cut through the hype and emotions, gathering the best minds in all businesses around the world to debate, challenge and rationalise the impact of this tech fusion on society and our future.  This is Gitex 3.0.”

Meanwhile, the series includes launches of Global DevSlam and X-Verse.

With a fully immersive deep dive into the digital universe, the event presents its 3.0 edition with Ai Everything, North Star Dubai (formerly Gitex Future Stars), Fintech Surge, Future Blockchain Summit and Marketing Mania.

Two new events will also be launched this year – Global DevSlam, and X-Verse.

Committed to creating a thriving home in the UAE for international coders and developers and advancing the digital economy, Global DevSlam is the Middle East’s largest ever coder and developer meetup, connecting 10,000 coders alongside developers from the tech companies, including Anaconda, AWS, Google, Instagram, Microsoft, Oracle and Red Hat.

The fully subscribed event is supported by Coders (HQ) and inspired by the UAE’s mission of building the world’s best coder and developer ecosystem, with the country now offering its long-term residency Golden Visa to 100,000 qualified coders from around the world.

Global DevSlam also welcomes the worldwide python community with the launch of Pycon MEA, featuring a line-up of renowned Python masters coming together for the first time in the region.

Setting another first, X-Verse, in partnership with Decentraland, curates one of the immersive metaverse journeys, providing a never before seen experience into the greatest shifts and the most potentially disruptive industry applications of the metaverse.

With real-world case-studies and never-seen-before virtual experiences across manufacturing, gaming, education, healthcare, retail and the future of work, X-Verse will enable global enterprises to understand and adopt this nascent technological development.

Furthermore, launched as Gitex Future Stars in 2016, the newly renamed North Star Dubai in 2022 underlines the ongoing evolution of the global startup ecosystem, and the important role startups play in advancing innovation and international business collaboration.
