Education

With more than 1,783 international schools now educating 1.8 million students across the GCC, the region’s education sector continues to face growing challenges — from adopting advanced technologies to improving student wellbeing and teacher development. Against this dynamic backdrop, GESS Dubai 2025, the region’s leading education exhibition and conference, returns from November 11–13 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Sheikh Saeed Halls 1–3). Co-located with Education Investment MENA, the event will unite educators, investors, and innovators from across the globe to explore the future of learning.

Technology integration and learning engagement

As schools accelerate digital transformation, educators are increasingly turning to technology that streamlines administration and enhances student engagement. At GESS Dubai 2025, global EdTech leaders such as PowerSchool, Padlet, Almoe Digital Solutions, MDBTuition Ltd, and Readspeaker will present cutting-edge tools that simplify workflows and personalize learning experiences.

New entrants such as Slangit, an AI-powered learning platform, and Chapters & Co., specialists in immersive language education, are reshaping how schools across the GCC integrate technology into classrooms. Artificial Intelligence will take center stage this year, with exhibitors including Malek AI, NeuroBoost AI, Albie AI, MeraTutor.AI, and Learno.AI showcasing tools designed to enhance personalized learning, streamline classroom management, and support data-driven teaching.

Creating adaptive and inspiring learning environments

Modern classrooms are evolving to promote creativity, collaboration, and wellbeing. Exhibitors such as EDULAB Educational & Labs Furniture (UAE), Mirplay School (Spain), and Metalliform Holdings (UK) will highlight flexible classroom designs, ergonomic furnishings, and interactive STEM-based environments that foster student comfort and focus.

Preparing students for the future through STEM and experiential learning

STEM learning remains central to modern education, and GESS Dubai 2025 will feature leading global innovators in hands-on learning. Companies such as BEDO, Twohands Interactive Inc., and ATLAB Middle East will demonstrate engineering and AR-based educational tools that bridge theory with real-world application, helping students gain practical and technical skills for future careers.

International collaboration and government participation

This year’s event will also feature international pavilions from the UK, China, and Korea, each showcasing innovative educational resources and technologies. The Ministry of National Education (MoNE) of Türkiye will participate alongside major Turkish education brands, further emphasizing the event’s global significance.

Organizations such as Türkiye’s MoNE, Korea’s Scientific Instruments Industry Cooperative, and major brands like BenQ will share best practices and present new products aimed at enhancing global teaching standards and institutional performance.
