ERBIL – Digital Zone, Iraq’s fastest-growing digital commerce platform, took part in the 2025 edition of the Hawler International Technology Exhibition (HITEX), joining over 90 leading companies, government institutions, and banks in highlighting the rapid evolution of Iraq’s technology and innovation landscape.
For Digital Zone, the exhibition served as a platform to strengthen partnerships and explore cross-industry collaborations spanning financial services, telecommunications, and emerging startups. The company used HITEX to exchange insights, identify new growth opportunities, and reinforce its position as one of Iraq’s most prominent digital success stories.
“HITEX gave us a clear view of the progress being made in Kurdistan’s tech scene,” said Saif Al-Mufti, Founder and CEO of Digital Zone. “It was a great opportunity to connect with partners and explore how Digital Zone can keep adding real value for users, merchants, and partners all over Iraq.”
The event underscored the growing vitality of Iraq’s technology ecosystem, particularly in the Kurdistan Region, where a mix of established firms and new ventures are driving digital transformation.
