The World CIO 200 Summit 2025 Grand Finale, hosted by the Global CIO Forum, set sail with an unforgettable opening experience – the CIO Dragon Boat Challenge on the legendary River Nile.
Held at the historic Rowing Club, Cairo University, the challenge brought together more than 200 global CIOs, technology leaders, and partners for a once-in-a-lifetime prelude experience. This exclusive activity tested not just their agility and endurance, but also their teamwork and leadership – all from the heart of the Nile.
The event unfolded with warm-up and orientation sessions, followed by three qualifying heats and a grand final race. Each boat carried CIOs and tech leaders sporting custom team jerseys and colors, proudly branded by sponsors. Professional helmsmen and safety guides ensured smooth sailing throughout, while the cheering audience amplified the spirit of the race.
Adding to the prestige of the event, the CIO Dragon Boat Challenge was proudly sponsored by F9 Infotech and Orbus Software. Their support not only amplified the competitive spirit of the race but also showcased their commitment to driving innovation, collaboration, and excellence within the global technology community.
