Dubai eGovernment said that its stand at the 30th edition of Gitex Technology Week, an international IT exhibition, will be three-folds bigger compared with its exhibition space in the 2009 edition.

Gitex 2010 will be held from October 17 to 21 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Dubai eGovernment has always been keen since its inception in 2001 to participate in annual trade exhibitions, aiming to raise awareness of eServices through direct interaction with visitors and businessmen interested in technology, a statement said.

“We look forward to this year's exhibition as it presents an opportunity to get acquainted with the latest IT experiences and solutions and work closer with participating organisations and exchange expertise with them,” said Ahmed Bin Humaidan, director general of Dubai eGovernment.

“We will also try to cater for the needs of our visitors at Gitex, with the goal of improving the eServices in the emirate and enhancing the level of efficiency and excellence within different local government departments in line with our common goal of speeding up the transformation of Dubai into an integrated digital community.”

“Dubai eGovernment is fully prepared to participate in this year's Gitex as we have set up the perfect exhibition showcase that capitalises on our experiences in previous editions in collaborating with government departments and authorities,” he added.

“The exhibition space is three-folds larger this year to allow different departments to showcase their eServices under the umbrella of Dubai eGovernment,” Bin Humaidan continued.

“By gathering the largest number of government departments in one place, we aim to stimulate communication and cooperation among these departments in order to upgrade eServices and enhance their efficiency and encourage the public to explore these services. Dubai eGovernment will also be keenly monitoring events, press conferences and agreements signed at the event,” he concluded.

Dubai eGovernment is strengthening its presence in this year's Gitex by expanding its exhibition space to 2,800 sq m from 800 sq m in 2009.

The exhibition space shall be allocated to different departments based on the type of services they provide to the public. There are more than 2,000 eServices that will be featured for various members of the community such as citizens, residents, businesses and visitors.

The Dubai eGovernment exhibition will comprise a network of workstations for visitors to try out all eServices that can be accessed through the official portal of the Government of Dubai (dubai.ae). – TradeArabia News Service
