GITEX 2024: Largest Technology Fair of the Future – Polish Companies at the Middle East Innovation Arena

GITEX Global 2024 in Dubai made history as a record-breaking edition – an event that brought together more than 200,000 technology leaders from over 180 countries, showcasing the future of innovation and setting new standards for global collaboration.

With as many as 6,500 exhibitors, 1,800 startups and 1,200 investors, this year’s edition had unprecedented momentum. This prestigious group also included 40 Polish companies and startups, whose booths attracted the attention of key business partners from the Middle East and other markets.

GITEX is much more than a standard technology trade show. It is the key to the Middle East – a region that is investing in the future and becoming a leader in setting new technological trends“- Malgorzata Panek-Kasinska, CEO Founder MK Business Link.

For Polish entrepreneurs, participation in GITEX has become a ticket to strategic relationships and contracts that can play a key role in their further development. Already during the fair, some companies concluded negotiations with the signing of contracts, others established valuable contacts, and others began talks at the international level.

Polish entrepreneurs made excellent use of this potential – they held intensive meetings, expanded their contact networks and discovered opportunities for expansion into new markets. For many Polish companies, it was not just another visit to GITEX, but also a key step towards lasting cooperation with global partners. Debutants, in turn, stressed that returning for the next edition was almost certain.

“Only here are we able to reach more than 200,000 people from over 180 countries around the world. It is here that we have established many business relationships, but also strengthened the power of our brand and showcased our latest solutions” – Adam Łabęcki, COO, Business Development Director, Co-Founder IDENTT

“GITEX is the place that connects the entire Middle East. It is not only the Emirates, but also Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman. This fair shows where the world is heading and what innovations will shape the future of the global market.” Marek Polit, Technical Sales Director Grenton

“GITEX is also a place where we can do business – get new business contacts and start international sales expansion. We have been making these efforts for 6 years now. Thanks to GITEX, among other things, we met some important distributors with whom we continue to work to this day. It is the place through which we became involved in very interesting projects, such as NEOM in Saudi Arabia.” – Bartlomiej Gierszyn, CEO Grenton

Expand North Star – The Future for Startups

An integral part of GITEX GLOBAL 2024 was the Expand North Star platform, offering startups a unique opportunity to attract investors and business partners. In this innovative space, created with young companies in mind, Polish startups made valuable contacts and opened their businesses to new opportunities for growth on the international stage.

Among the companies presenting at the fair was Poland’s Brainscan, a startup that in March 2024 won the pitch competition held as part of the Scale It Global program, organized by MK Business Link and Dubai World Trade Centre. Thanks to that win, Brainscan received a booth at GITEX from the organizer and advanced to the semifinals of the Supernova Challenge, one of the most important competitions for innovative startups in the Middle East.
