Indian innovators seek to expand UAE-India bilateral relations while promoting innovation
MUMBAI, India, Oct. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A robust presence of Indian exhibitors will be present at this year’s GITEX GLOBAL, the world’s largest tech showcase, strengthening UAE-India bilateral relations and creating new opportunities for technological collaboration.
More than 200 Indian companies are poised to participate at GITEX GLOBAL – set to take place from 10th-14th October 2022 at DWTC in Dubai, UAE – and its seven co-located events, North Star, Global DevSlam, North Star Dubai, Fintech Surge, Future Blockchain Summit, X-VERSE, Marketing Mania and Ai Everything, showcasing a gamut of technology innovations in AI, blockchain, Big Data, IoT, telecoms, Martech, future mobility, healthtech, smart cities, and more.

GITEX GLOBAL 2022 follows the landmark UAE-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) that came into force in May. CEPA aims to eliminate more than 10,000 tariff lines within ten years and is expected to impact trading between India and the UAE significantly. Under CEPA, both countries aim to boost bilateral trade from $60 billion to $100 billion within the next five years.
Gurmeet Singh, Executive Director, Electronics and Computer Software, Export Promotion Council (EPC), said, “We aim to take advantage of the booming IT market in the Gulf and showcase India’s capabilities in the ICT sector. GITEX GLOBAL has emerged as the largest and the most impressive ICT event of its kind in the Middle East. Naturally, India has a great stake in the booming Middle East, Africa, Asia, and European markets, for which Dubai is the gateway. Companies participating under ESC’s banner have reported a high degree of satisfaction and recorded significant business, forged joint ventures, and established market tie-ups.”
