Under this year’s theme, “CHOOSE EUROPE,” the conference will once again focus on strengthening Europe’s position as a global technology leader through innovation, investment, and cross-border cooperation. Berlin’s role as host city further underscores the capital’s growing importance as one of Europe’s leading hubs for AI, DeepTech, and digital innovation.
A European edition of GITEX GLOBAL, GITEX AI EUROPE is being held in Berlin for the second time. Building on the success of last year’s debut, the 2026 program features product launches, keynote presentations, panel discussions, and specialized formats such as AI Everything Germany and the GITEX Quantum Expo, complemented by a wide range of side events. As an ecosystem partner, Berlin Partner will once again be present at the Berlin-Brandenburg joint pavilion (Hall 4.2, Booth B10), together with leading organizations from the capital region and strong partners including Berlin Quantum and the ai.berlin hub. One of the program’s highlights will be the Berlin-Brandenburg Reception on June 30 at 5:00 p.m., bringing together political leaders, business representatives, and key figures from the technology community for an evening of networking and exchange. The reception will be opened by Franziska Giffey, Berlin's Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises.
Across the conference stages, the spotlight will be on the technologies shaping tomorrow. The Berlin on Stage program will feature sessions on DeepTech, resilience, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurship. Through the Enterprise Europe Network's B2B matchmaking program, companies and organizations will also have the opportunity to connect through pre-arranged business meetings designed to foster new partnerships. On July 1, Startup Berlin, together with Unboxing the Future, will present the session “Unboxing the Future of Berlin: From Purpose to Performance” on the NXT Stage.

Alongside the main conference program, Berlin Partner will host Superconnectors Berlin 2026 @ GITEX Europe, a networking event designed to connect startups with investors, entrepreneurs, and industry experts who are ready to leverage their networks to create new partnerships and business opportunities. Through an interactive format, participating startups will present concrete challenges and work with carefully matched partners to identify solutions, accelerate growth, and build lasting collaborations. It is a collaborative approach that reflects the spirit of GITEX AI EUROPE itself – and one more reason why the event has become a must-attend gathering for Europe’s technology community.
