CIO Africa by dx⁵ has signed an agreement to become a media partner at the upcoming GITEX Africa. GITEX Africa, an inaugural event modelled after GITEX GLOBAL, is an event that brings together the best minds in the technology sector in Africa with the aim of showcasing the latest trends and innovations. With a focus on emerging markets in Africa, this event is set to be a major highlight in the tech calendar for 2023.

“We are excited to announce that we have signed an agreement to become the official media partner of the first GITEX AFRICA event which is set to take place from 31 May to 2 June in Marrakesh, Morocco,” said Harry Hare, Chairman, dx⁵.

GITEX Africa 2023 will be the first of its kind in the continent. It will create opportunities for tech investors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts to connect, share knowledge and explore new opportunities in Africa. The event intends to empower African start-ups and innovators by providing them with a platform to showcase their innovative solutions to the world.

The GITEX AFRICA event will provide an opportunity for stakeholders in the global tech space to showcase their products and services, network with potential partners, and learn from industry experts. One of the event’s biggest draws will be to provide a platform for start-ups to pitch their ideas to potential investors and secure funding for their projects. The other will be the GITEX AFRICA Digital Summit.

The event will bring together over 900 exhibitors from across the globe showcasing the latest innovations in the technology sector. It will also feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, and workshops covering a range of topics from AI, cybersecurity, fintech, digital cities, telco to e-commerce.

GITEX Africa is an extension of GITEX GLOBAL held annually in Dubai and is the largest technology event in the world, running for over 40 years, making it a must-attend event for technology enthusiasts and professionals from all over the globe. The maiden GITEX Africa event has sold out, attracting thousands of attendees globally including investors, entrepreneurs, and industry experts.
