[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 14th that it will support the participation of nine promising Seoul ICT startups in the 'Dubai Information and Communication Technology Exhibition (GITEX),' the largest ICT exhibition in the Middle East attended by approximately 140,000 visitors from 144 countries worldwide, to promote Seoul's investment attractiveness. The city will operate a Seoul promotional pavilion at the Seoul Pavilion and the main exhibition hall at 'GITEX Future Stars' to showcase Seoul's investment environment.

First, Seoul will establish a Seoul Pavilion at GITEX Future Stars to promote the technology and products of nine promising Seoul ICT companies. Additionally, to discover investors and secure sales channels, each company will be provided with 3 to 4 export consultations and local networking opportunities daily.

The participating companies were selected in June through an external expert review from 37 companies recommended by domestic and international investors in various fields such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, and IoT. The nine companies are DeepBrainAI, Nota, Davio, Seoul Robotics, Smile Ventures, Nthing, Lutronics, Dot, and DataCommand.

Furthermore, Seoul will operate a promotional pavilion at the main GITEX exhibition to inform about the investment environment in Korea and Seoul, introduce Seoul's investment attraction policies, network with global investors on site, and actively discover potential investors for Seoul's overseas investment attraction.

Baek Hyun-sook, Director of New Growth Industry Planning at Seoul City, said, "The Middle East market has abundant financial resources based on oil money and does not spare national support for the ICT sector in preparation for the post-oil era, making it a region of infinite possibilities for domestic companies." She added, "Through participation in GITEX Future Stars, we hope Seoul companies can discover meaningful global partners in the Middle East region."
