GITEX, short for Gulf Information Technology Exhibition, is one of the world’s largest and most prestigious technology expos, held annually in Dubai. Known for drawing global industry leaders, innovators, startups, and policymakers, GITEX serves as a platform for showcasing revolutionary technologies in artificial intelligence, 5G, cloud computing, cybersecurity, IoT, and more. It also provides networking opportunities, investment matchmaking, and access to groundbreaking insights from tech pioneers.
Beyond the showcase, GITEX has established itself as the global convergence point for government and industry partnerships. With over 800 government entities participating annually, the event has become the largest global government representation forum, often resulting in multi-million-dollar deals, policy dialogues, and innovation alliances.
Over the last 40 years, the GITEX brand has evolved to include sub-events like AI Everything, GITEX Future Stars, Fintech Surge, Future Blockchain Summit, and Marketing Mania, covering a wide spectrum of technology trends and future-forward industries. The upcoming Nigerian edition promises to mirror this diversity, creating opportunities for local innovators, digital entrepreneurs, and public institutions to align with global trends.
With the launch of the GITEX Nigeria 2025 tech road show, NITDA and ONDI are signaling a strong commitment to bridging the digital divide, inspiring grassroots innovation, and placing Nigeria firmly on the global technology map. As anticipation builds across the six zones, the road campaign is expected to spark national conversations, spotlight emerging tech talents, and prepare the country for an inclusive and impactful GITEX experience.
