Dubai: Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director-General of Digital Dubai, led a UAE delegation at the official opening of GITEX Africa 2024. The event was attended by Aziz Akhannouch, Prime Minister of Morocco, and Dr. Ghita Mezzour, Moroccan Minister of Digital Transition and Administration Reform.
To highlight the role of these projects in improving digital city experiences and solidifying Dubai’s position as a global pioneering city in this field, the Dubai Pavilion, part of the city’s participation, will feature more than 25 advanced digital projects and initiatives presented by 9 entities from Dubai.
During his speech, Al Mansoori said, “The UAE’s relations with Morocco have evolved and become increasingly prominent and entrenched over the years, it gives an example in the fraternal relationship based on sustainable cooperation and coordination in the common interest for both sides.”
“This event serves as a modern twin to GITEX Dubai, the global and prestigious event, helping Marrakesh to become Dubai’s twin in its aspiration for a bright human future based on harnessing the latest technologies to serve people everywhere,” he added.
Nine government agencies are represented by Dubai at the 2nd GITEX Africa, which got underway May 29, 2024 and runs until May 3, 2024. “Invest in Dubai,” an interactive DET platform specifically for investors, is among the services on display at the Dubai Pavilion.
With 130 countries expected to participate, the event aims to strengthen global partnerships and exchanges, strengthening its position as a key hub for innovation and economic growth in Africa.
