The 2026 edition of GITEX, taking place December 7–11 in Dubai, will unite GITEX Global and Expand North Star into a single mega-event under the “Back Together” banner. Held at the newly opened Dubai Exhibition Centre in Expo City, the convergence promises access to the entire tech spectrum, from global corporations to the most dynamic startups. Visitors and exhibitors alike can connect with over 1,500 qualified investors—spanning venture capital, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds from Silicon Valley, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East—and take part in more than 65,000 targeted B2B meetings. The event is a strategic gateway to Gulf Cooperation Council markets, where demand is soaring for artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, deep tech, smart mobility, and connected health. Startups can also compete in the Supernova Challenge pitch competition, with a first prize of $100,000 and second and third prizes of $50,000 and $25,000, respectively.

French companies can exhibit through a Minalogic-facilitated delegation backed by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, which covers 50% of booth costs. The subsidised package is priced at €2,475 excluding tax (full price €4,950 excluding tax) and includes a 4 m² double booth, two high chairs, a double display, power, pitch preparation for the Supernova Challenge, and a Lead Tracker for badge scanning and contact export. Registration forms must be returned to Marie Thiéry or Kate Margetts by August 28, 2026. Space is strictly limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

From December 7 to 11, 2026, Dubai will host the world’s largest event dedicated to technology, startups, and innovation. The 2026 edition marks a historic milestone: GITEX Global and Expand North Star are coming together again (“Back Together!”) to form a single, unified event.

The entire ecosystem—from tech giants to hyper-growth startups—will gather at the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), the brand-new global mega-hub for innovation located in the heart of Dubai Expo City.
