DLA Piper's Middle East & Africa Tech Summit to Spotlight AI's Transformative Impact on Business

Global law firm DLA Piper will convene business leaders, legal professionals, investors, regulators and innovators at its flagship Middle East & Africa Tech Summit in Dubai, on Tuesday, 20 May 2025. Set against the backdrop of rapid technological change, the event will focus on how AI is transforming business and society.

Bringing together key voices from across the region and beyond, the Summit will serve as a premier platform for networking, knowledge-sharing and gaining strategic insights into today’s dynamic technology ecosystem. Hosted in Dubai - widely recognised as a regional hub for technology and innovation - the Summit aims to foster collaboration and connectivity across Middle Eastern and African markets.

As AI continues to reshape industries at an unprecedented pace, the Summit will tackle the complex legal, regulatory, and commercial challenges organisations must navigate to remain competitive. Through thought-provoking sessions and expert-led discussions, speakers will explore how cutting-edge AI models are driving innovation, accelerating business growth, and presenting both new opportunities and significant risks across the Middle East & Africa.

Following on from the success of DLA Piper’s 2024 Global Technology Summit, held in Menlo Park, California, the 2025 edition - tailored to the Middle East & Africa - will serve as a forum for cutting-edge ideas, expert perspectives, and regional insights. The day will feature engaging panel discussions and impactful keynote addresses.

Paul Allen, Partner and Global Co-Chair, Intellectual Property and Technology, said: “The Middle East & Africa Tech Summit, will play a leading role in equipping the legal and business communities with the knowledge they need to harness the many facets of technology in a responsible and strategic manner. AI is revolutionising the way businesses operate, but with great potential comes significant legal and ethical considerations. The Summit will aim to go beyond the headlines, providing tech innovators, legal professionals, and business leaders with the clarity they need to accelerate business evolution confidently”.
