The Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) is participating in the fourth edition of the “GITEX Africa Morocco” exhibition, held from 7 to 9 April 2026, under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in the city of Marrakech, Kingdom of Morocco, under the theme: “Catalyzing Africa’s Digital Economy in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” The event is witnessing remarkable attendance, bringing together around 50,000 participants and more than 1,450 exhibitors representing 130 countries.

ICESCO’s participation in Africa’s leading event dedicated to technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship crowns its continued presence for the fourth consecutive year. This participation, overseen by ICESCO’s Department of Digital Transformation, reflects the Organization’s firm commitment to positioning the countries of the Islamic world at the forefront of the global digital revolution, enhancing the capacities of young talent, and accelerating comprehensive and sustainable technological development in its Member States.

Furthermore, this participation is marked by the organization of three high-level sessions in the exhibition’s main hall, which will highlight the strategic importance of integrating technology into educational systems, explore pathways to achieving digital equity, and emphasize the urgent need to ensure that the most vulnerable groups are not left behind in the course of digital advancement.

Members of ICESCO’s Department of Digital Transformation are also actively participating in multiple workshops, reflecting the Organization’s commitment to embedding its young talents at the heart of the startup and innovation ecosystem.

Since the inaugural edition of the exhibition, ICESCO has stood out as an active institutional partner, embodying a strategic vision that recognizes that meaningful digital transformation in the Islamic world requires sustained investment and inclusive platforms that bridge the gap between leadership and the emerging generation of innovators.

In this context, ICESCO commends the exceptional development witnessed by the exhibition, which is rapidly evolving into one of the most important strategic technological gatherings on both the African and global scenes. This reflects the capacity of the Kingdom of Morocco to host major events, foster innovation, and lead with a forward-looking vision toward the future.
