AI-powered networking app redefines connections at GITEX Global 2025

Leveraging AI for meaningful in-person connections in a digital world

As nearly 200,000 tech leaders, investors, and innovators gather in Dubai for GITEX Global 2025, the challenge of optimizing face-to-face networking in just five days looms large. UBQT, the official community and ecosystem partner for the event, addresses this need with its AI-driven networking app, designed to foster authentic human connections in a world inundated with digital interactions.

Co-founded by Lara Varjabedian, UBQT distinguishes itself by focusing on in-person interactions rather than online communication. Using geo-location and smart AI recommendations, the app identifies optimal meeting opportunities nearby, simplifying scheduling and eliminating delays that hinder successful networking.

Varjabedian, a globally experienced entrepreneur with ties to Lebanon and Algeria, highlights the app’s core mission: to promote organic community building in an increasingly disconnected digital age. Since its launch in 2024, UBQT has evolved with AI-powered location intelligence, ensuring it continues to connect participants seamlessly during GITEX and beyond.

Privacy and security stand at the forefront of UBQT’s framework, with users required to opt-in for geo-location services within private networks. Partnering with Microsoft for Startups AI for Impact, the app strengthens its cybersecurity measures and enhances its AI algorithms based on user feedback.

At GITEX Global 2025, UBQT’s impact is clear: enabling serendipitous meetings that transform fleeting moments into lasting partnerships or friendships. With its tagline, “Catch me when you can,” UBQT reimagines networking as a dynamic, meaningful, and enduring experience at the world’s largest technology event.
