Dubai Internet City to host top Android developer forum

DUBAI, March 23, 2015

Dubai Internet City (DIC), a leading information and communication technology (ICT) hub in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, is set to bring the world’s biggest android developer conference to Dubai next month.

The droidcon Dubai will run from April 14 to 16. The DIC will be the headline partner for the event, said a statement.

Droidcon Dubai will gather the tech community to learn about the latest Android advances, hear about innovative new technologies from expert speakers and network with people from across the tech and Android industry, it said.

The event will further drive the development of the UAE’s start-up landscape by giving talent access to industry leaders, encouraging new ideas, and nurturing innovation.

It will be the GCC’s largest community-driven Android developer conference, and will welcome experts from Microsoft, PayPal, Blackberry, Intel, Groupon, and Facebook to give talks and host workshops.

Droidcon Dubai follows a series of events and initiatives headlined by Dubai Internet City this year, including Decode Dubai, DIC’s first hackathon and Drones for Good, an initiative launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum at the Government Summit 2015 held at DIC.

Majed Al Suwaidi, managing director of DIC and Dubai Outsource Zone, said: “We are committed to developing the tech community in Dubai and supporting start-ups and entrepreneurs, and we continue to look at ways we can promote new initiatives and events in order to encourage innovation and creativity.

“Globally, droidcon has played a major role in driving innovation within ICT and more specifically the Android sector, and the Dubai edition will provide the ideal platform for industry leaders to share knowledge with people from across the tech value chain, and support the growth of the Emirate’s Android ecosystem.”

Boris Jebsen, founder of droidcon, said: “droidcon has grown to become one of the biggest tech events worldwide, and we have pioneered the growth of a global network of tech experts who all support the Android platform as a way to achieve business goals.” - TradeArabia News Service
