Gitex is BACK, and in its 40th year, a visit will not disappoint!

Incredibly, this is the ONLY global tech show in 2020 that’s live and in-person, it features over 1,200 exhibitors, from 60 countries and it’s happening right now down at Dubai World Trade Centre. (If you want to visit, you need to register in advance, do it here.)

Want to see what big brands have in store in future tech? Then a trip is well worth your time. On day one, the Etisalat pavilion was the crowd-pleaser where a Hyundai and Uber FLYING CAR concept was the big head-turner. The RTA are also showcasing the future of AI for public transport, using tech to monitor passengers and drivers to ensure everyone follows COVID precautionary guidelines. V futuristic!

The flying car concept looks like a jet/submarine!
