The Department of Digital Ajman is set to return to this year’s GITEX Technology Week.

Taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) Dubai, from 17th to 21st October, GITEX will be held under the theme: ‘Creating a Bolder Digital Future Together’.

At last year’s show, Digital Ajman signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ajman Free Zone to accelerate the free zone’s digital services and capabilities.

As part of the agreement, Digital Ajman provided Ajman Free Zone with a bundle of four services – namely infrastructure as a service, software as a service, digital platforms as a service and cybersecurity as a service– to the free zone as the latter aims to fast-track its digital transformation journey.

More recently, Department of Digital Ajman partnered with IBM to accelerate its digital transformation and paperless strategy, using IBM Cloud Pak for Integration. The move was designed to simplify and enhance citizen experiences in Ajman through the integration of services across different government entities in the emirate.

GITEX is the biggest tech event in the Middle East and Africa region. Every year, the event hosts more than 4,500 exhibitors, 400+ active investors and 150,000 trade visitors from 140 countries.
