We are launching the MENA year
at Global CIO
Become our partner!
Dear colleagues,
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is fast becoming one of the most dynamic regions for digital transformation. Local economies are diversifying, billions are being invested in technology, and the demand for innovative IT solutions is stronger than ever.
But entering this market requires more than just a strong product. It takes local trust, cultural understanding, and the right connections.
That’s why Global CIO is launching the MENA Thematic Year — a series of events designed to bridge the expertise of the global IT community with the unique opportunities and realities of the region.
We’ll act as your local guide — handling marketing communications and helping you promote your solutions directly to CIOs and decision-makers across MENA.

Direct Access to Decision Makers
We bring together IT executives and technology leaders who actually make decisions. Our events aren’t mass webinars — they’re exclusive, invitation-only gatherings with the people who truly shape demand.
Showcase Your Expertise
Participation in our online meetings and special edition gives you the opportunity to present more than just a product — it lets you demonstrate a deep understanding of global frameworks and how they can be adapted to the regional context.
Trust Through Networking
An in-person event in Dubai is your opportunity to build the kind of personal connections that matter most — especially in regions like the Middle East and North Africa.
Media Coverage
Partners receive visibility across Global CIO’s full media ecosystem — positioning your company as a key player with a clear international strategy.
