Web Summit Qatar 2026

Exploring New Opportunities in the Gulf Region

In February 2026, Gizil participated in Web Summit Qatar as part of the North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) international delegation, supported by NRW.Global Business. The event brought together technology companies, investors, industrial organizations and innovation leaders from around the world, creating a unique platform for collaboration and international growth.

For Gizil, the summit represented an important milestone in our expansion journey into the Gulf region. As countries across the Middle East continue to invest heavily in industrial modernization, critical infrastructure and digital transformation, the event provided valuable opportunities to engage with stakeholders seeking practical solutions for managing and modernizing existing industrial assets.

Building Bridges Between Germany and the Gulf Region

Web Summit Qatar enabled direct conversations with industrial operators, government stakeholders, ecosystem partners and investors interested in the future of industrial infrastructure.

Throughout the event, recurring themes such as energy transition, operational resilience, infrastructure modernization and workforce transformation reinforced the relevance of Brownfield Infrastructure Intelligence across the region.

These discussions confirmed that while digital transformation strategies may vary, organizations face many common challenges when managing aging infrastructure and preparing facilities for future requirements.

Expanding Our Presence in Saudi Arabia and the GCC

Participation in Web Summit Qatar served as an important starting point for Gizil's broader expansion strategy across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.

The event helped establish new relationships that later contributed to ongoing discussions with industrial operators, ecosystem partners and innovation programs across the Kingdom and the wider region.

Today, these connections continue to support our mission of helping industrial organizations create trusted infrastructure intelligence foundations for modernization, operational excellence and long-term digital transformation.
