Creating platforms. Connecting markets. Building opportunities.
Gulf Media & Events Group is the UAE-based company behind MIMTC and EMTEX. We build international congresses, exhibitions and B2B platforms where businesses, institutions, governments and decision-makers meet.
An event should create value before, during and after it takes place.
That principle shapes every platform we build, from medical tourism to emergency medical services and the sectors we enter next.
MIMTC in figures
Across its first three editions, MIMTC has brought together 7,000+ visitors from 60+ countries, 200+ exhibitors, 100+ speakers and 600+ B2B and B2G meetings.
- Quality before quantity.
- Meaningful connections before numbers.
- Long-term value before short-term visibility.
Our platforms
Each platform focuses on one sector and keeps growing, edition after edition. MIMTC and EMTEX each have their own dedicated website.

Entrepreneur, media professional and event organizer based in the UAE, Lotfi Khelifi founded MIMTC and EMTEX to give their sectors a business platform, not just a meeting place.
