According to details shared by the GITEX Global 2025 organizers, Dubai is gearing up to host one of the world’s largest and most influential technology events, set to take place from October 13–17 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Here’s a closer look at what visitors can expect from this year’s most anticipated tech gathering.
Super Data Centres – The AI Factories of the Future
Global investments in data centres are projected to exceed $500 billion in 2025, according to BofA Research, solidifying their position as the backbone of the AI revolution.
At the forefront of this transformation, GITEX Global 2025 welcomes O’Leary Ventures, one of the world’s leading investors in data infrastructure, currently developing the largest AI data centre industrial park in the world in Canada. Paul Palandjian, CEO & Co-General Partner of O’Leary Ventures, highlighted the UAE’s role, saying:
“The UAE has become the crossroads and a world leader in the development of technology and AI. No other place has the leadership vision, resources and commitment to attract a world-class cohort across every industry.”
From a regional perspective, Hassan Alnaqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centers (a G42 company and MENA’s largest hyperscale provider), will lead critical discussions on whether infrastructure, energy, and regulation can keep pace with the explosive demand for AI “giga factories.”
GITEX Digi Health & Biotech – The Next Frontiers of Medicine
With global biotech spending forecast to reach $1.7 trillion by 2025, the sector is seeing the fastest adoption of AI-driven innovation.
At GITEX Global 2025, Trevor Martin, CEO of Mammoth Biosciences, will present how their Nobel-winning CRISPR gene-editing technology is leveraging AI to potentially cure genetic diseases.
Matt Angle, CEO of Paradromics, the company behind the world’s first successful brain–computer interface, will dive into how AI and neurotechnology are decoding human thought.
Adding to this momentum, South Korean startup HurayPositive will unveil its AI-powered SaaS platform for precision medicine, aimed at supporting one million patients with chronic conditions.
Physical AI – Turning Science Fiction into Reality
A major highlight of this year’s event will be Physical AI, the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence across real-world environments.
Tensor will unveil the world’s first personal robocar, hailed globally as “agentic AI on wheels,” while K2 will introduce new humanoid models and an industrial-grade concept vehicle extending robotics into manufacturing spaces.
With the global robotics AI market expected to reach $94 billion by 2031, these innovations signal a new era where intelligent machines redefine productivity and efficiency across industries.
GITEX Quantum Expo (GQX) – Advancing Quantum Readiness
Quantum computing takes centre stage at GITEX Quantum Expo (GQX), where IBM will debut Quantum System Two — a major milestone toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Shukri Eid, VP & General Manager of IBM Gulf, Levant, and Pakistan, stated:
“GITEX Global is not just a showcase — it’s a platform for action. It brings together the ecosystems that matter: policymakers, business leaders, and innovators driving AI forward.”
Prof. Mark Thompson, Co-Founder of PsiQuantum, valued at $6 billion, will outline the roadmap toward quantum sovereignty, while IONQ, the first publicly traded quantum computing company, joins the list of headline exhibitors.
AI Semicon – The Chips Powering Sovereign AI
Global semiconductor leader AMD will showcase its latest Instinct™ GPUs and EPYC™ CPUs, engineered for high-performance, energy-efficient AI workloads in data centres.
Jim Keller, CEO of Tenstorrent — a $2.6 billion AI chipmaker listed in Forbes AI50 — will expand on how nations can “take control of their sovereign AI future,” as semiconductors increasingly become a strategic geopolitical asset.
Startups, Scaleups & Unicorns Lead in AI Supercomputing
This year’s Expand North Star will feature over 40 unicorn companies, underscoring the UAE’s position as a global hub for next-generation startups.
Among the key participants:
