This intro episode of GCC Tech Talks by 7Dxperts, recorded in Dubai, sets the scene for a podcast focused on real stories from the people actually building technology, data and digital products across the GCC. No buzzwords, no fluffy panels – just operators talking about what works, what doesn’t, and everything in between.

Hosts Tom Stroud and Sye Rahman discuss:
• Why the GCC needs more real talk on tech, data and AI

• The gap between slides, buzzwords and what’s really happening inside organisations

• Who this show is for – and what to expect from upcoming episodes

• How stories from both startups and large enterprises will shape the series

Whether you’re leading a data team, driving digital transformation or just curious how things really get built behind the scenes, this episode sets the tone for what GCC Tech Talks is all about.
