Dubai Internet City has wrapped up a successful edition of Gitex Global 2023 with onboarding agreements for new customers, partnerships with global entrepreneurship agencies, and activations showcasing artificial intelligence (AI) innovation within the technology district.

Major developments announced by Dubai Internet City, part of TECOM Group PJSC, as Innovation Partner of Gitex Global 2023 included the addition of Endava, Yango, and Sprinklr to its repertoire of customers. Endava, which recently opened its UAE headquarters in the technology district, presented its global expertise and next-generation solutions to mark its Gitex Global debut at Dubai Internet City’s pavilion.

Yango announced plans for a new global operational office at Dubai Internet City that will officially open in the fourth quarter of 2023 to oversee its ride-hailing, delivery, and tech services, among other initiatives, and Sprinklr also officially inaugurated its new Dubai Internet City office that will support its expansion plan for the Middle East and Asia-Pacific and Japan regions.

During the event, Dubai Internet City entered partnerships enabling opportunities for global entrepreneurs to establish a base in Dubai. Its strategic partnership with German Entrepreneurship GmbH at Gitex Global 2023, will provide German companies a smooth entry into the market, while a memorandum with Korea’s National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA) includes initiatives such as enhanced collaboration and facilitates the participation of Korean technology companies and professionals in Dubai Internet City’s ecosystem. Dubai Internet City also entered an agreement with the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) to provide Polish companies with market insights and data to elevate their understanding of the regional business environment.

Dubai Internet City’s onsite activations included a robotic arm trained to compete in a game of checkers to explore whether and how AI may someday overtake human intelligence, and Twyn, an enterprise platform enabling the digital and immersive transformation of factories by building an industrial that eliminates the need for physical inspections. For an immersive experience, guests were also guided to a ‘secret door’ inviting them into a world brought to life by actors and performers from Dubai Internet City.
