The number of national pavilions in 2005 has gone up (14%) from 21 to 24, while the net area for the event has increased by 10% to touch 30,227 square meters. The growing international presence at the event underlines the increasing recognition of GITEX as an ideal networking platform for the ICT industry.
Participants at GITEX will be eager to strike major deals at the event that is renowned for taking a fair share of annual IT deals in the region. This year however, it is set to rise further as participants and trade visitors are expected from around the world including Europe, North America, Africa, South Asia and the Far East if the pre-registration trend is an indication.
