Trixie LohMirmand, executive vice president of the Dubai World Trade Center and KAOUN International, recently met with Amal El Fallah-Seghrouchni, Morocco’s newly appointed minister of digital transition and administrative reform.
The discussion focused on enhancing Morocco’s digital landscape and Africa’s broader digital growth through GITEX Africa, LihMirmand said in a post on Linkedin.
“It was a motivating pointed exchange tinged with an openness to strive for more impactful outcomes for all stakeholders and participants at large,” the post reads.
GITEX Africa, taking place next month in Marrakech, is set to “welcome the new leadership’s purposeful impetus,” LohMirmand said, noting Morocco’s role in shaping a competitive, but collaborative, AI-driven future.
GITEX Africa is the largest technology and startup event in Africa. It aims to spotlight the continent’s technological advances and infrastructure, as well as give a platform to local startups and entrepreneurs.
Set to be held from April 14-16, the event promises a lineup of summits and seminars to discuss the latest trends and technological advances both in Africa and globally. These include the DigitalSummit, Future Connectivity Summit, and the Future of Finance Summit.
It will also host several companies like Nokia, Orange, Deloitte, and Acer, among other exhibiting firms. Visitors will be able to discover these companies’ latest products and services. In addition, small companies and startups will have the opportunities to network and receive more exposure.
Last year, GITEX Africa 2024 welcomed 1,400 exhibitors, 680 startups, and more than 40,000 visitors from across the world.
Among the themes GITEX Africa will tackle are agritech, artificial intelligence (AI), climate finance, and healthcare. The event will welcome top experts who will share their insights and expertise on these topics.
