Small and medium enterprises (SME/Bs) are fundamentally the powerhouse progress in every economy and the UAE government officially defined its mission to strengthen SMEs as part of its “Vision 2021.”

The strong pillars of the SME sector are technology, finance, and logistics but the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic hit had put cracks in all these and their support systems. Several countries have ventured extraordinary revival measures to rescue SMEs from the crisis and revive their economy in general. The UAE was one of the frontrunners in the mission and it had also managed to open the economy, quickly. The October edition of The Integrator thoroughly analyses the SME sector, carries industry reactions, captures trends, and outlines SME-specific solutions in a detailed manner.

GITEX Technology Week (October 17–21 at World Trade Center, Dubai) returns with huge hopes. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solution providers and SMEs join once again to discuss possible business relationships. As a pioneer in the ICT publishing business, The Integrator and its team are fully prepared to grasp every essence of the event. With extensive media coverage, interviews, and reporting, we continue to raise our forte at GITEX 2021.

We are hosting the 14^th edition of the “ICT Champion Awards,” one of the largest award ceremonies in the region, on the sidelines of GITEX. The gala awards night will be a notable medley of solutions providers, industry leaders, and channel partners.

When it comes to creating a network for ambitious entrepreneurs, we are second to none!

Speak and celebrate with The Integrator.
