GITEX Technology Week Expands Focus to Diverse
Industry Verticals as Internet of Things’ Worldwide Economic Impact Anticipated
to Reach USD 11 Trillion per Year by 2025
MEASA’s Leading Technology Showcase Extends
Footprint to ICT Professionals in Oil & Gas, Education, Healthcare, Retail,
Banking and Construction
With the potential global economic impact of
Internet of Things-related technology and services anticipated to reach more
than USD 11 trillion per year by 2025, developing economies such as those in
the Middle East will contribute nearly half of the total value according to a
new report by the McKinsey Global Institute.
Consequently, the 35thedition of GITEX
Technology Week 2015 – the leading ICT business gateway in the Middle East,
Africa and South Asia (MEASA) – will target ICT professionals from six key
regional industry verticals expected to lead sector-specific contributions to
Internet of Everything investment over the next 10 years.
With nine of the Middle East’s top 10
universities, 20 of the Arab World’s largest banks, and the Middle East’s top
five largest oil companies all set to attend GITEX Technology Week 2015, the
event’s new, industry-focused GTX Communities initiative will extend the mega
fair’s appeal to ICT professionals working in oil & gas, education,
healthcare, retail, banking and construction, according to event organisers.
“While the Internet of Things era is making
strong headway in the Middle East, not all industry verticals are digitising at
the same rate,” said Trixie LohMirmand, Senior Vice President, Exhibitions
& Events Management, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). “In GTX Communities,
GITEX Technology Week 2015 will provide a dedicated component for individuals
and organisations from six, revenue-delivering verticals with the research,
networking and tools to harness the latest innovations, disruptive technologies
and emerging trends to fully digitise their business and succeed in the
Internet of Things era.”
Aligning with the event’s theme of ‘The
Internet Future of Everything’, the GTX Communities initiative includes
dedicated TechVertical Conferences, Industry Roundtables for C-suite
executives, the Smart Sessions Innovation Series, as well as a series of
thought-leading white papers, articles, surveys and interviews with pioneering
tech leaders on the event’s website.
The content-rich initiative aims to deliver
knowledge and value for professionals and companies exploring technology
investment as immediate and long-term monetisation opportunities in six core
sectors:
Education - Improving learning outcomes through
technology, such as with classroom mobile apps, social augmented reality, and
game-based learning in projects.
Healthcare - Healthcare providers can learn how
pervasive connectivity leads to better solutions, outcomes, and lower
healthcare costs, while transforming the patient-doctor relationship.
Banking – Digital disruption and its impact on
the future of banking, with focus areas including how social media and Big Data
enhance customer service and engagement, new product development, payments and
transfers, and risk management.
Retail - Agencies, brands, publishers, and
retailers will examine innovations in shopping, customer engagement,
advertising, and selling such as e-commerce, predictive analytics, and mobile
retail.
Construction – Executives will hear how
technology is enhancing project site efficiency, productivity and safety;
transforming construction with 3D printing and drones; and delivering the next
era of Smart Cities.
Oil and Gas - Oilfield operators can learn
real-time technology integration can maximise exploration and production, and
enable workers to access information and capture data using mobile apps.
