Sustainability and future of hybrid work will be key focus topics at The Microsoft Hub at the 41st Gitex Technology Week, taking place from October 17 to 21 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. 

 

Built around the theme of ‘Creating a Bolder Digital Future Together’, the Microsoft Hub will demonstrate innovations in areas of sustainable smart cities and tools for organisations to adapt and thrive in the hybrid world. 

 

“The pandemic is in decline, but the world of hybrid work is very much here to stay,” said Sayed Hashish, General Manager, Microsoft UAE. “Together with our partners, we look forward to showcasing some of the ground-breaking innovations which will empower our customers to thrive in the digital economy and hybrid work environment.” 

 

At the Microsoft Hub, the company will also unveil latest initiatives and products that will shape the future of sustainable city management. “We have partnered with Schneider Electric, to bring Dubai’s sustainability vision to life”, added Hashish. ”Our collaboration, running on Azure and powered by the Microsoft Cloud, demonstrates how a combination of cutting-edge technologies can translate large amounts of data into actionable, sustainability focused outcomes. This will turn urban environments from being part of the climate problem into becoming part of the solution.”
