BERLIN: Major updates in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and startup funding marked a big day for technology at the first day of GITEX Europe in Berlin. AI tools are getting smarter, now able to understand and respond to users almost like humans. These tools are being used in hospitals, banks, and online platforms to make services quicker and more accurate.
In cybersecurity, new systems are helping detect and block threats before they can do damage. With more cyberattacks happening around the world, especially in Asia and the Middle East, governments and companies are improving their digital defences. They are using advanced technology like blockchain and secure access systems to keep information safe.
At the same time, investors are putting more money into new tech startups. Cities like Bengaluru, Dubai, and Riyadh are becoming hotspots for young companies. Many of these startups focus on healthcare and clean energy—offering smart medical devices and eco-friendly technologies. These businesses are not just helping people stay healthy and protect the planet, but are also creating new jobs and opportunities.
All these developments show how fast technology is changing. From smarter AI to better online security and strong support for startups, the tech industry is shaping how we live and work. Anyone interested in staying ahead in business or technology should pay attention to these growing trends, especially in regions leading innovation.
