The exhibition aims to meet the changing needs of the education sector, placing a strong emphasis on technological advancements, progress in science and medicine, and future career paths, specifically highlighting subjects such as AI, sustainability, and leadership.

The three-day event, which is held under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, will bring together numerous international universities proudly represented by their respective national banners. Making their debut in the UAE, these institutions are keen on engaging with prospective students and concurrently exploring the potential for establishing a regional foothold in the world's fastest-growing education hub, distinguished by its exceptional socio-economic balance.

Anselm Godinho, Managing Director at International Conferences and Exhibitions and Organiser of GETEX, commented: “We are proud to host this edition of the GETEX, which features post-school study options for the batch of 2024 and post-graduate and training options for working adults looking to enhance their academic qualifications and skills to fit in with trending jobs and career growth.”

“Additionally, Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) will be participating at the event to demonstrate its support and foster student and parent engagement for the benefit of all stakeholders in Education. UAE’s extremely competitive and multi-curricular school system produces some of the world’s top-performing students. We are immensely proud to host the region’s most recognised education event that serves as a practical recruitment platform for students looking to study in UAE or at a university, in one of the 40+ countries, represented at GETEX”, he added.

Featuring educational institutions from over 40 countries, including USA, India, UK, Russia, China, Australia, Turkey, Malaysia, Germany, Canada, and Hungary, the event will provide an exceptional opportunity for students and parents to interact with prominent education recruiters worldwide and explore conventional and trending study and course options within the region and beyond.
