The event featured over 6,500 exhibitors, 1,800 startups, and 1,200 investors, alongside governments from more than 180 countries—marking the highest-ever international participation—gathered in Dubai, along with 200,000 visitors, solidifying the city’s reputation as a premier global hub.
Alongside the showcase, a key conference hosted discussions among policymakers, visionaries, and industry leaders on leveraging advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and robotics to enhance interconnectivity and drive economic growth.
With the digital city industry generating over USD $1.83 trillion in revenue, reflecting a huge 21% increase from last year – according to Precedence Research, as reported in Enterprise Apps Today – the event demonstrated how the UAE is steering the future of cities through cutting-edge initiatives, using AI, IoT, and data driven systems to create hyper-connected, sustainable environments.
The UAE’s Strategic Leadership in Future Cities
The UAE’s investments in digital transformation are positioning the nation among the world’s leaders in digital city development. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have both earned places in the Smart City Index 2024’s top 12 global cities, as per a report compiled by Switzerland’s International Institute for Management Development (IMD), a testament to their rapid advancements in urban technologies.
At the forefront of this digital evolution is the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), responsible for overseeing digital transformation at the federal level. With two strategic goals, enhancing smart lifestyles and strengthening technological infrastructure, TDRA underscored its vision through a prominent presence at GITEX GLOBAL.
Its pioneering initiatives, such as the innovative digital twin platform project, were showcased at the Digital Government Platform, offering real-time simulations of infrastructural and operational systems.
