Dubai Outsource Zone (DOZ), a member of TECOM Investments, today announced its participation at the GITEX TECHNOLOGY WEEK 2009, the principal industry event in the Middle East.

To be held from 18-22 October at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, the GITEX TECHNOLOGY WEEK 2009 will host global leaders in the ICT industry and include product launches by some of world’s most well known majors. The event will also offer key networking opportunities for industry professionals.

Dubai Outsource Zone will join sister company Dubai Internet City (DIC), also a member of TECOM Investments and the region’s largest managed information and communications technology cluster, at DIC’s stand (No CC2-1) for the five-day event.

Ismail Al Naqi, Executive Director, Dubai Outsource Zone, said: “GITEX remains one of the region’s best platforms for companies and individuals to meet, network and learn about the opportunities available to them. We particularly prioritise our presence at this event for the new possibilities that it has opened for us. With the outsourcing industry in the region continuously maturing and evolving, this is undeniably a critical time for us to be part of such an event.

“The Middle East is enhancing its reputation as a strong and viable alternative to other outsourcing hubs worldwide. Our strategic location in Dubai, at the crossroads of the East and the West, places ourselves and the companies that operate out of our business park in a strong position to capitalize on this crucial advantage.”

Dubai Outsource Zone has evolved into a base for both captive and third-party operations, providing mid- to high-end outsourcing services. The special economic zone currently hosts a number of companies in multiple sectors such as Banking and Finance, Insurance, IT, and Hospitality.
