Dubai - Local and international education suppliers doing business in the UAE remain optimistic about their growth in the emirates and the rest of the Gulf region.
Close to 600 education suppliers and brands from all over the world are expected to showcase their latest products at the forthcoming Global Educational Supplies and Solutions (Gess) exhibition and conference in Dubai, the largest show of its kind in the Middle East.
"The region continues to be an attractive market for education-focused brands as schools in both the public and private sectors continue to invest in products and solutions that help teachers and students achieve better performance. The desire to deliver a world-class standard of education remains very strong among school leaders and teachers and that quality upgrades can happen much faster with the latest teaching aides and tools," said Matt Thompson, Project Director, Tarsus F&E, organisers of Gess Dubai scheduled to take place on February 26-28 2019 at Dubai World Trade Centre.
This year the show features exhibitors and country pavilions from Bahrain, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany,India, Italy, Jordan, Korea, Turkey, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, United States showcasing a wide range of products and solutions from edtech (such as VR/AR, STEAM, robotics, lab equipment, mobile apps) to uniforms and furniture that are aimed at re-shaping classroom design and experiences for better learning.
"More and more companies are using Gess Dubai as a platform to launch their products in the lucrative education market as visitors came from 92 countries worldwide. Gess Dubai is the only way to reach out to such a targeted audience of global education buyers," added Thompson.
"The Middle East, in particular the UAE, is our second largest market after the UK. The advanced nature of the schools in the region means that it's an enormous growth market for our company - the leading artificial intelligence (AI) business in the UK," said Charles Wood, Partnerships Manager, Century Tech, an artificially intelligent learning platform that teaches children English, Maths and Science from ages 6-16.
