London Hosts Global Islamic Tech Festival Promoting Ethics-Driven Innovation
…………………..

The “Islamic Technology Festival” kicked off on Sunday in London, bringing together over 1,500 experts from 27 countries to explore the intersection of innovation, ethics, and spirituality. The event positions itself as a global platform for redefining technology through a values-based lens.

Under the theme “Technology in the Service of Humanity,” the festival challenges conventional consumerist models, advocating for responsible, inclusive innovation that addresses the needs of marginalized communities and promotes social justice.

Showcasing pioneering initiatives from across the Islamic world, the festival featured culturally and religiously sensitive smart tools developed by startups, alongside workshops on AI ethics and responsible tech in times of rapid transformation. A dedicated space spotlighted Palestinian tech projects, particularly from Gaza, highlighting resilience and ingenuity under siege.

Organizers emphasized that the festival’s mission goes beyond showcasing Muslim contributions to technology—it aims to spark a global conversation on re-centering humanity within technological progress by aligning innovation with ethical and spiritual values.
