EC News DeskWhen the world was hit by an invisible virus causing global disruption and significant socio-economic damage, technology united us. By enabling businesses and schools to maintain continuity and mitigate unprecedented uncertainty, it became an unsung hero on the front lines, emerging as an engine of growth, resilience and innovation. At GITEX Technology Week 2020, Dubai Internet City and its business partners is inviting visitors to its pavilion to showcase how technology supported the region during recent months and how it will reshape the future of the post-pandemic world.
Some of the other companies that supported the UAE’s technology-inspired Covid-19 response to the pandemic will be exhibiting at the GITEX pavilion. Dubai Internet City, the region’s largest business community for tech and talent, is featuring a series of immersive experiences at its pavilion alongside its business partners Anghami, Zoom, HTC Vive; students from the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation; and a selection of startups from in5, an enabling platform for tech, media and design entrepreneurs.
In addition to the showcase of in5 startups at the Dubai Internet City stand, in5 will welcome visitors to its own booth in Sheikh Rashid Hall, opposite Hall 7. Here, new and aspiring startups will be able to find out more about the enabling platform’s incubation programme and how they can access its co-working spaces, prototyping labs, 3D printers and other advanced facilities. It comes after startups on the enabling platform raised a record-breaking amount of investment in the first six months of 2020.
With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, services to improve the ease of doing business and business community of more than 1,600 companies from multinational corporations to SMEs and startups employing more than 25,000 people, Dubai Internet City offers a unique platform for tech firms.
