The week-long event runs from October 6th-10th at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The 32 entities will be featured at the Abu Dhabi Government Pavilion, headed by the Abu Dhabi Digital Authority, ADDA, which will ensure effective coordination among participating organisations to help raise the emirate’s profile as a leader in the region’s digital transformation efforts.
