Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) is set to host the largest government technology exhibition in the Middle East that will gather representatives of government departments, ministries and authorities from across the GCC in Abu Dhabi next year.

Organised by Terrapinn — a leading business events organiser, the inaugural Gov Tech Middle East will take place from 8 — 9 April, 2014.

Gov Tech will provide a world class platform for ICT professionals to interact, share knowledge and spark innovation within the government services sector. Showcasing the latest cutting-edge technology and digital solutions designed to support the development of e-government services, Gov Tech will address security and efficiency challenges related to government services.

Expected to attract thousands of attendees, Gov Tech will include a visionary keynote conference, free-to-attend on-floor technical seminars, workshops and an industry awards ceremony.

“The ICT industry is and continues to be a significant contributor to our economic development in the UAE, which makes Gov Tech ME a key event in the region. With a surge in global IT spending, we anticipate strong attendance for this event that further underscores ADNEC’s growth as a regional hub for conferences and exhibitions,” said Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Chief Commercial Officer at ADNEC.

Gov Tech Middle East will also spotlight organisational IT efficiency and productivity, IT protection against data and cyber-attacks, and the delivery of new services to citizens through investment in new technologies.
