Visited the world’s largest Tech event in Dubai, and I was blown away! I just got back from an unforgettable five-day experience in Dubai at the GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World as part of a special delegation, and honestly, it’s going to stay with me for a long time. ? It was an experience filled with energy, inspiration, and innovation, with over 6,500 exhibitors, 1,800 startups, and 1,200 investors from every corner of the globe. ?? I’ve always been fascinated by technology, but stepping into this event felt like walking into the future. ?? I found myself exploring some mind-blowing innovations, like smart contact lenses that interact with data and AI/robotics transforming industries right before our eyes. ?? Seeing how these technologies are already shaping our world was a powerful reminder of just how fast things are evolving. ? One of the most exciting things I discovered was XPANCEO’s smart contact lenses. These lenses use 300 times less power than traditional AR glasses—proof of just how far technology has come in terms of making things more efficient and sustainable. ?? But what really stood out to me was seeing how much GITEX has grown. What started in 1981 as a small event has now turned into one of the largest tech gatherings in the world, with 40 halls filled with the best of the best. ?? None of this would have been possible without the incredible efforts of CII’s C.S. Raghavan, Prasant B., and Anjana Rawat. Their commitment, planning, and enthusiasm made every moment impactful, and I’m truly grateful for that. ?? Walking through the halls, connecting with brilliant minds, and witnessing innovation at work reminded me of something simple but important: the future is shaped by the people who dare to dream. ?? #MiddleEastEntrepreneurship #DubaiStartupScene #UAEInnovation #EntrepreneurialEcosystem #StartupMiddleEast
