Past Events - GITEX & GFS

GITEX Technology Week & GITEX Future Stars selected AladdinB2B, the leading matchmaking and meetings technology, as the official service provider for its 2020 hybrid events.

AladdinB2B was appointed to organize all meetings during both GITEX and GFS 2020 for the 1,200 private companies, government delegations, and tech startups from 60 nations worldwide.

GITEX management found AladdinB2B to demonstrate a key initiative in consolidating business networking through innovative and resilient technological efforts under the current economic climate.

While many giant trade shows were canceled due to restrictions posed by the ongoing worldwide pandemic, GITEX 2020 was the largest in-person tech trade show in the world, successfully commemorating its 40th anniversary at the Dubai World Trade Center.

More than 3000 influential meetings were pre-organized for the event by AladdinB2B. Investors, government delegates, exhibitors, and startups engaged in the aspiration of new partnerships and expansion.
