A platform for tomorrow’s innovators
Reinforcing the region’s building blocks of creating homegrown technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, the first-ever GITEX YouthX youth engagement program will contribute to the cultivation of young tech talent with a creative program aimed at bringing them closer to the practitioner ecosystem.
The program offers four pillars to engage students from high school to post-graduate level, including its Unipreneur initiative, which will give startups from universities including King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and UAE University the opportunity to engage with leading international investors and government-level experts; the Youth X Bootcamp, a curated program of workshops and inspirational sessions to inspire young minds; Teens in AI, the culmination of a multi-school hackathon offering school teams the chance to present to the global tech ecosystem; and GITEX High Flyer, the program which will give 100 university students the chance to win internships with innovative companies including Avaya, GM, and Majid Al Futtaim.
Supporting the need for increased opportunities for female tech leaders, GITEX GLOBAL x Ai Everything will host the global finals of the TiE Women pitch competition, where female-led startups from more than 40 cities will pitch on stage for cash prizes, mentorship, and investor networking opportunities.
