Morocco is set to host the fourth edition of GITEX Africa from April 7 to 9, 2026, in Marrakech, as the country seeks to solidify its position as a leading technology and startup hub on the continent. The event was officially presented at a press conference in Rabat, with organizers highlighting its expected scale and international participation.
GITEX Africa, the African expansion of the world-renowned GITEX Global held in Dubai, serves as a major platform for connecting tech innovators, investors, and governments. The 2026 edition aims to build on the success of previous years, focusing on key sectors like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, fintech, and smart cities.
The Moroccan government has actively promoted digital transformation and foreign investment in its tech sector as part of its economic development strategy. Hosting a flagship event like GITEX Africa is viewed as a strategic move to attract global tech giants and venture capital, while also showcasing local Moroccan and African talent.
With the event dates confirmed and promotion underway, the focus is now on the specific themes, keynote speakers, and expected deals that will define GITEX Africa Morocco 2026. The expo is anticipated to draw thousands of visitors from across Africa and the world to the Red City.
