DUBAI, 13th May 2025 (WAM) -- The HR Tech MENA 2025 Summit kicked off in Dubai with strong momentum, as organisers QnA International brought together leading industry solution providers to explore the future of work in the region.

Sidh NC, Director, QnA International, said, “We are pleased to host HR Tech MENA Summit 2025 for over a decade now, the region’s most premier and prestigious event that addresses the most significant present-day subject close to the hearts of visionary HR leaders – applying Tech Transformation for the well being of the organisation and its people. Your contributions have driven MENA’s tech transformation, positioning the region at the forefront of progress. With AI adoption soaring to 76%, our commitment to employee experience, strategic workforce planning, and digital upskilling remains stronger than ever."
Dr. Oleg Konovalov, listed among the Global Gurus Top 30 in Leadership and the Global 100 Inspirational Leaders, alongside figures like Bill Gates and Elon Musk delivered the opening keynote address on ‘Raising Visionary Leaders of Tech: The Role of HR as People Visionaries.’
The inspirational speech bringing global insights to MENA highlighted the difference between Leaders who look to the future and Managers who oversee the present.
