The world’s largest tech and startup event to debut a new ‘TechCation’ concept, merging innovation, business, and tourism in the heart of Expo City Dubai.
Dubai is set to elevate its global technology stature once again as GITEX GLOBAL 2026, the world’s largest and most influential tech and startup event, relocates to Expo City Dubai. The move marks a transformative step for the event, which will introduce a groundbreaking ‘TechCation’ experience — blending technology, innovation, and tourism in a uniquely Dubai fashion.
The decision to host GITEX GLOBAL 2026 at Expo City underscores Dubai’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and futuristic development. The venue, which hosted the iconic Expo 2020 Dubai, offers a world-class ecosystem for large-scale exhibitions, conferences, and immersive tech experiences.
The new ‘TechCation’ concept aims to redefine how global audiences engage with technology events. It will combine high-level networking, live demos of emerging technologies, and leisure experiences inspired by Dubai’s tourism offerings — from cultural showcases to luxury hospitality.
GITEX GLOBAL, organized by DWTC (Dubai World Trade Centre), has consistently served as a premier platform for global tech leaders, startups, and investors to converge and collaborate. Its relocation to Expo City in 2026 represents a natural evolution — bringing together Dubai’s vision for smart living, sustainable infrastructure, and next-generation digital transformation.
The 2026 edition is expected to attract an even larger global audience, further solidifying Dubai’s position as a leading global hub for innovation and technology.
With Expo City’s state-of-the-art facilities, eco-friendly design, and strategic connectivity, GITEX GLOBAL 2026 is poised to set new standards for international tech exhibitions — where technology meets lifestyle, and innovation meets experience.
