GITEX / Dubai Government

Connects startups to the United Arab Emirates trade ecosystem as an event platform without direct grant funding.

GITEX is an annual technology trade show and conference series organized by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). It hosts startup pitch competitions (Supernova Challenge) where prize money is provided by external sponsors. GITEX itself is not a grant funder — this catalog entry conflates the GITEX event brand with the broader Dubai government technology ecosystem.
