iFLYTEK at GITEX 2025: Co-creating a New Chapter of Intelligence in the Middle East with a Full-Chain AI Solutions Matrix

On October 13, GITEX GLOBAL 2025 kicked off at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Marking its second appearance at the event under the theme “AI Connecting Ideas,” iFLYTEK showcased a comprehensive matrix of full-chain AI solutions tailored for both enterprise and consumer applications. The presentation emphasized locally-driven innovation and intelligent implementations, underlining the company’s commitment to delivering tangible value to Middle Eastern enterprises and users. Staying true to its mission of being “rooted in and serving the Middle East,” iFLYTEK continues to support the region’s digital transformation and the development of smart cities. Over the past year, the company has steadily expanded its presence across the Middle East, integrating AI deeply into local education and workplace scenarios through localized deployment—demonstrating strong technological adaptability and practical value across both B2B and B2C sectors.

AI Solutions Matrix for All Scenarios: Meeting Core Demands of Digital Transformation in the Middle East

In response to the region’s three strategic priorities—accelerating the digital economy, advancing industrial intelligence, and developing smart cities—iFLYTEK has built three core capability matrices: AI Solutions, AI Infrastructure, and AI Translation. Through multilingual, all-scenario AI applications, the company brings technology to life in real-world contexts, serving needs that span both professional and personal domains.

AI Solutions — Intelligent Spaces and Innovative Products Across Scenarios. Focused on scenario-based intelligent upgrades, Spark WallEX serves hotels, commercial spaces, and homes through voice and touch interaction, enabling centralized control of lighting, temperature, security, door locks, curtains, and more. Powered by large-model capabilities, it delivers convenient, efficient, and personalized space management. This segment also features a range of other innovations, including Spark Quick Answer, the AI Photo Frame, Smart Blackboard, a Chinese Learning Platform, and mobile digital humans. By bridging advanced technology with real-world applications, iFLYTEK addresses practical challenges through AI innovation, extends service reach with comprehensive scenario coverage, and drives tangible intelligent outcomes across industries.

AI Infrastructure — A Secure and Compliant AI Backbone. This all-in-one AI solution delivers secure, compliant, and out-of-the-box deployment, providing localized large language model capabilities tailored to the needs of the region. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements of Middle Eastern enterprises and governments, even in highly sensitive scenarios, offering stable and reliable foundational support for digital economic growth and industrial upgrading.

AI Translation — Language Solutions and Productivity Tools for Every Scenario. This product lineup is designed to address core communication and documentation needs in both daily life and professional settings, leveraging accurate and efficient multilingual capabilities to overcome language barriers. The iFLYTEK Smart Translator offers flexible adaptation across languages and scenarios, maintaining seamless communication even offline. Meanwhile, the iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 stands out as a revolutionary E‑ink device—slim, portable, and AI-enhanced. It integrates iFLYTEK's leading translation technology to deliver intelligent speech and text translation in multiple languages, streamlining cross-lingual tasks and note-taking while boosting workplace communication and knowledge management. The matrix is further supported by a range of complementary tools—including AI Trans Screen, translation earbuds, translation apps, Spark Trans, iFlYREC, iFLYTEK Intelligent Recorder, and iFLYTEK Smart Dictionary Pen—ensuring comprehensive language service coverage across diverse scenarios.

Together, these three capability matrices form a comprehensive full-chain offering that serves both consumer and enterprise needs. Aligned with the Middle East’s strategic focus on smart cities, green development, and the digital economy, they provide robust momentum for regional industrial upgrading.

Deepening Localization: From Entering the Middle East to Growing With the Middle East — Building a Local AI Ecosystem Together

Since its entry into the Middle East, iFLYTEK has established a company in Dubai and built a dedicated local team focused on R&D and ecosystem partnerships. With a Saudi branch also in the pipeline, the company is leveraging its mature global expertise and technologies—particularly in AI translation and intelligent office solutions—to help accelerate digital and AI adoption across the region.

Amid growing foreign trade and cross-border investment in the region, enterprises are increasingly in need of cross-language solutions. By 2025, 62% of GCC enterprises are expected to have integrated AI into their business operations. iFLYTEK’s multilingual AI translation tools—featuring real-time speech and text translation, meeting captioning, and contract translation—enable Middle Eastern businesses to engage more confidently with global partners, enhance negotiation efficiency, and reduce communication costs. The company’s proven track record of sector-wide deployment in China serves as strong validation for customers across the region.

Amid increasing cross-border collaboration pressures, professionals in the Middle East are turning frequently to AI tools—with 68–74% of employees in GCC countries using generative AI at least weekly. iFLYTEK’s AI Office suite streamlines multilingual meetings and document workflows by integrating recording, conversion, and translation capabilities, offering regional customers a trusted and proven solution.

Governments and enterprises across the Middle East are actively advancing intelligent upgrades, with sectors such as healthcare and education demonstrating particularly strong AI potential. Notably, 75% of retail enterprises in GCC countries have already integrated AI into at least one business function. iFLYTEK—drawing on its extensive experience applying AI technologies across multiple sectors in China—is now bringing intelligent speech and multilingual AI solutions to the region. These offerings deliver tailored intelligent services for corporate office scenarios, enhancing both operational efficiency and user experience. China's proven success in AI implementation provides a replicable model and strong support for the Middle East's own digital transformation.

Rapid Adoption in the Middle East:

Elevating Quality of Life and Work Efficiency Through Technology

iFLYTEK’s products and solutions have gained remarkable traction across the Middle Eastern market:

The iFLYTEK AINOTE series achieved a market breakthrough within just six months of its launch, rapidly climbing to become the second best-selling product by monthly sales in the E‑ink category. This success reflects not only strong local appeal but also underscores iFLYTEK’s technical expertise and smart office application capabilities.

Spark WallEX, backed by extensive global implementations, plays a key role in supporting smart city development. It sets new benchmarks for high-end intelligent living, serves as a reference model for smart home applications, and accelerates the digital transformation of the hotel industry.

Aligned with Regional Vision:

Anchoring on the Middle East’s “Digital Economy + Green Development” and Fulfilling a Long-term Commitment

iFLYTEK operates as a dedicated solutions provider, aligning its offerings with the strategic roadmaps of Middle Eastern nations—from the UAE’s “Smart City 2031” and Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030” to the broader regional push toward a green digital economy. The company’s portfolio is designed to directly support smart city development, sustainable growth, and digital transformation. Looking ahead, iFLYTEK will continue to expand its AI product matrix while deepening collaboration through ecosystem partnerships, local talent cultivation, and the establishment of in-region R&D centers. Together with Middle Eastern partners, iFLYTEK is committed to co-building a sustainable and homegrown AI industry ecosystem.

"iFLYTEK is not only bringing world-leading AI technologies to the Middle East, but is also dedicated to addressing the real-world needs of local users and partners," stated Zhan Wenyu, Vice President of iFLYTEK. "By staying grounded in these needs, we ensure meaningful impact. Moving forward, we will continue to co-create tangible, implementable outcomes for customers and partners across the region—through an open, collaborative, and win-win approach."
