The 2026 edition is the second in the series and gathers startup founders, corporate decision-makers, investors, and innovators from across Europe and beyond. The event operates as an open-access professional gathering structured around a matchmaking programme, content stages, and side networking. ## The 2026 edition: 30 June – 1 July in Berlin The second edition of GITEX AI Europe takes place on 30 June and 1 July 2026 at Messe Berlin. The event carries no announced thematic sub-title for the 2026 edition. With 40,000 expected visitors, according to available figures, the Berlin gathering positions itself as a large-format technology event on the European summer calendar, operating between the dense spring conference cluster and the autumn season. ## Where GITEX AI Europe sits in the European tech calendar The late-June slot is relatively clear of direct competition from other large-scale AI and technology events, which tend to cluster in spring (March to May) or in autumn (September to November). Berlin in early summer provides good flight connectivity across Europe and is an established host for large trade events at Messe Berlin. The timing also aligns with the end of the first half of the fiscal year, when procurement decisions and partnership conversations in the technology sector are active. ## What GITEX AI Europe covers thematically The programme is structured around four primary areas: artificial intelligence and its applied use cases, cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, and broader technology innovation. The AI track sits at the centre of the event's identity, consistent with the rebrand to GITEX AI Europe for this edition. Specific session names, stage configurations, and confirmed panel topics are not publicly documented as of the verification date. ## Who attends GITEX AI Europe - Startup founders and scale-up executives operating in AI, data, and adjacent technology sectors - Corporate decision-makers and chief technology officers from enterprises seeking technology partnerships or procurement conversations - Investors, including venture capital and corporate venture arms, active in European AI and deep-tech - Innovation and R&D leads from large organisations evaluating emerging technologies - Government and public-sector representatives with digital transformation mandates - Technology vendors and solution providers seeking European market access or partnership distribution ## What the GITEX AI Europe format includes - 1:1 matchmaking meetings of 20 minutes, pre-scheduled between participants - Roundtables bringing together smaller groups for focused discussion - Workshops with applied or instructional formats - Networking cocktails providing informal contact opportunities between sessions - Main stage and breakout content, with seven speakers confirmed as of the verification date Speaker details beyond the confirmed count of seven are sourced from third-party event information platforms, as the official website did not display full speaker information at the time of verification. Stage count, special formats beyond those listed, and exhibition floor specifics are not documented. ## How meetings are scheduled at GITEX AI Europe The structured meeting programme is the operational spine of the event. Registered participants can schedule 1:1 meetings of 20 minutes in advance with other attendees, spanning the investor, startup, and corporate populations. Participants who confirm three or more matchmaking meetings qualify for complimentary access passes through the partner programme, which signals that meeting volume is both an access mechanism and an engagement metric for the organiser. A dedicated matchmaking application or digital platform may support pre-scheduling, but no official app name is publicly documented as of the verification date. Roundtables and workshops complement the bilateral meeting programme with group formats. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of professional gets the most value from attending GITEX AI Europe? The event is designed for professionals with an active operational or commercial interest in artificial intelligence and related technologies: founders seeking investor introductions or partnership deals, investors sourcing European AI companies, corporate technology buyers evaluating vendors, and senior executives building ecosystem relationships. The matchmaking infrastructure rewards participants who arrive with a clear counterpart target list and at least three meeting objectives. ### Who is GITEX AI Europe NOT designed for? Several profiles are likely to find the event a poor fit. Specialists in private capital strategies (private equity buyouts, private credit, infrastructure fund investing) will find no dedicated programme infrastructure for their work: this is a technology trade event, not a capital markets forum. Professionals seeking deep technical content on a single narrow AI sub-discipline may find the broad thematic scope insufficient. Participants who prefer passive conference attendance without pre-scheduling meetings will underuse the matchmaking format that anchors the event. Organisations based outside Europe with no current European commercial or partnership agenda gain limited geographic return from a Berlin gathering at this stage of the event's maturity (second edition). Finally, those expecting a curated, invitation-only environment should note that access is open, meaning counterpart quality is not pre-filtered by the organiser. ### Is GITEX AI Europe focused on a specific AI application or sector vertical? The programme covers AI broadly, alongside cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, and general technology innovation. No single vertical (healthcare AI, financial AI, industrial automation) is documented as the dominant track. The breadth of coverage is consistent with a large-format generalist technology event rather than a specialist conference. ### How does GITEX AI Europe relate to the wider GITEX series? GITEX AI Europe is the European edition of the GITEX brand, operated under KAOUN International, which also runs the flagship GITEX Global event held in Dubai. The Berlin event was rebranded as GITEX AI Europe for its 2026 edition, signalling a deliberate repositioning toward artificial intelligence as the organising theme for the European market. ## The venue: Messe Berlin Messe Berlin is one of the largest trade fair venues in Europe, a permanent exhibition complex in the Charlottenburg district of western Berlin. The site hosts events across most major industry sectors throughout the year, including transport (IAA Mobility in its Munich iteration evolved from Berlin roots), consumer electronics, and technology. Its infrastructure supports large-format trade events with multiple halls, conference theatres, and outdoor spaces that extend the functional footprint of an event beyond any single hall. For GITEX AI Europe, the scale of Messe Berlin accommodates the 40,000-visitor target while leaving room for the parallel matchmaking, workshop, and roundtable formats to operate simultaneously. Berlin's central European position and major international airport (BER) make the city accessible from most European capitals, as well as from the Middle East and North Africa, where GITEX's originating network is concentrated. ## The organiser: GITEX (KAOUN International) GITEX AI Europe is produced by KAOUN International, the entity behind the GITEX brand. GITEX Global, held annually in Dubai, is among the largest technology trade events in the world by visitor count and has been running for several decades. KAOUN International has extended the brand into regional editions, with GITEX Africa (Marrakech) and the European edition (Berlin) representing the most recent expansions. The organiser's country of record for the Berlin event is Germany. The organiser's city of registration, founding year, and total portfolio size are not publicly documented in available sources. The commercial publisher model applies: the event is a revenue-generating trade platform rather than an industry association or member-led body. --- ## Editorial take *GITEX AI Europe enters its second edition with significant brand inheritance from one of the technology world's best-known trade event series, but its credibility as a European AI gathering will depend on whether the matchmaking infrastructure delivers qualified counterpart meetings rather than simply aggregating visitor numbers.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is handled directly through the official website at gitexeurope.com. The access model is open: no invitation is required. Standard delegate passes are available at pricing that is not publicly disclosed as of the verification date, though the organiser has indicated that discounted passes of up to 50 percent are available for a limited time. Complimentary access is available through partner programmes and for participants who confirm three or more matchmaking meetings in advance. Exhibitor and sponsorship pricing is not publicly disclosed. Prospective attendees should consult the official website for current rates and availability, as pricing structures may change between the verification date and the event. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is GITEX AI Europe open to the public or invitation-only? The event operates on an open access model. Any professional can register through the official website. There is no disclosed application or qualification process for standard delegate access. Complimentary passes are available through partner programmes and by confirming a minimum of three matchmaking meetings. ### What does a delegate pass cost for the 2026 edition? Standard pass pricing is not publicly disclosed as of the verification date. The organiser has referenced discounts of up to 50 percent available for a limited period, suggesting tiered or time-sensitive pricing. The exact standard rate is not available in verified sources. ### Where is the event held and how do delegates get there? The event takes place at Messe Berlin, located in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin, Germany. The venue is accessible from Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) by S-Bahn rail in approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Multiple central Berlin hotels are within a short distance of the exhibition grounds. ### Are there specific logistics or scheduling considerations for the matchmaking programme? Delegates intending to use the 1:1 matchmaking system should register early, as pre-scheduling capacity may be finite and meeting quality correlates with advance preparation. No official scheduling app name is documented as of the verification date. Participants with three or more confirmed meetings qualify for complimentary passes, creating a practical incentive to engage with the matchmaking system before arriving. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.gitexeurope.com/ | | Register | https://www.gitexeurope.com/ | | Programme | not disclosed | | Speaker list | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-11 **Next review:** 2026-06-10 **Notes:** Visitor figure (40,000) and speaker count (7) are drawn from available event data; the visitor figure carries no explicit organiser attribution in the source and should be treated as provisional.
