million sq. ft – a 40 percent increase over the previous year – showcasing the
latest innovations and trends in AI, the cloud, Web 3.0, cyber security,
climate technology, urbanism, and more.

will centre their attention on the pressing concerns of climate change and

upcoming UN climate change summit, COP28.
