The GITEX Global and Expand North Star exhibitions began this week with the participation of more than 32 micro, small, and medium-sized Bahraini technology companies, in addition to the participation of strategic partners, including the Economic Development Board, Export Bahrain, and ila Bank.

Bahrain’s pavilion includes 12 Bahraini SME’s displaying their work at GITEX Global, which is considered the largest technology exhibition in the world.

In addition, 20 emerging Bahraini startups participated at the Expand North Star exhibition, one of the largest global startup events hosted by the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy as part of “GITEX Technology Week” events.

This year, “GITEX Technology Week” is being held at a separate venue from GITEX Global for the first time, in order to welcome more global tech entrepreneurs.

For the ninth consecutive year, Tamkeen is proudly sponsoring the Bahrain Pavilion, building on the remarkable achievements of Bahraini companies in previous editions.

In this year's edition, the exhibition places particular emphasis on cutting-edge technological innovations focusing on artificial intelligence.

It also explores contemporary areas such as the impact of sixth-generation (6G) networks, expansive virtual business systems within metaverse technology, and more.

The GITEX Global exhibition will continue until Friday and will be held at the Dubai World Trade Center, while the "Expand North Star" exhibition will conclude on Wednesday.
