‘Many countries and companies want to cooperate’

Trixie LohMirmand, executive director of KAOUN International and vice president of Dubai World Trade Center, told Anadolu that GITEX aims to bridge established economies with emerging markets and new continents through technology.

"The big mission of GITEX is to connect its global tech community with established economies but also new continents and also rising economies," she said.
