Attending the press conference recently for the Middle East ’ s largest technology showcase , GITEX Global 2022 , I had something of an epiphany . I had first set foot in Dubai some 20 years earlier , in the height of a construction boom and when the city was rebranding itself as a tourism destination . Two decades later , we were sat in a luxury yacht club built on land that did not previously exist , anchored by an ambitious vision . That room of media and technology leaders is also hearing about a space that does not physically exist – the metaverse .

It became clear to me that , as sure as Dubai ’ s skyscrapers and iconic manmade islands had pushed the limits of what was physically ‘ possible ’, the same vision was being applied to Web 3.0 .

It ’ s good to be where it ’ s at , which is why we have established new offices in Dubai , to bring our readers more content from the region to watch .
