On the other hand, Gitex is a good opportunity for us to familiarize ourselves with the latest international expertise & experiences, and the technologies & means by which we may further enhance our work,” stated Dr. Mohammed Al Badr, General Manager, AICT.

The Institute will participate at Gitex within a special stand at the Microsoft wing.

 “The leading status we hold in Saudi Arabia drives us to continuously strive towards the most advanced direction in the field of technical teaching & training,” commented Al Badr, adding, “We are very happy to accept the invitation of Microsoft, our strategic alley. This invitation reflects the depth of our shared experience, which has lasted over 20 years. It also reflects Microsoft’s keenness at reaching the various sectors of the Saudi community and crystallizes the maturity of our strong bond with our partners; Microsoft, Oracle, Comita and the British Council.”
