If your company makes hardware, book 20 minutes with MTechZilla at GITEX Global 2026 and bring one software problem with you. We’ll work through it with you and recommend a solution before you leave the booth.
Find us at booth H37-A10.16 in the ESC India Pavilion, Hall 37, Dubai Exhibition Center, from 8 to 11 December 2026. No demo, no slides, no pitch.
A demo shows what we built for someone else; the clinic shows how we think through your problem, in front of you. Every long-term client we have came to us that way, after watching us work through something hard.

What You Get From a 20-Minute Software Clinic Session
You leave with two things: a recommended solution to a real problem and a checklist to test the rest of your software yourself. It works like a free IoT consulting session, run on a sketchpad instead of slides.
Minutes | What happens | What you take away |
|---|---|---|
0-5 | You tell us what the product does, what is running today (devices, connectivity, cloud, apps, third-party platforms), and what is going wrong. | One clearly defined question |
5-15 | We outline the options and trade-offs. If an off-the-shelf platform is a better fit than custom software, we say so. | A build vs. buy view for your case |
15-20 | We give our recommendation, the alternative we would not choose and why, the main risks, and what needs further review. | A recommendation you can take back to your team |
Twenty minutes is not enough for a final architecture, an estimate, or a security review. We tell you which parts need more work so no one mistakes a sketch for a design.
What a Session Looks Like: An EV Charger Maker That Needs a Customer Portal
Say you make EV chargers and your customers want a branded portal on top of your existing charger management backend. In 20 minutes, we would review which backend APIs are available and what your OCPP layer already handles.
Then we would recommend a portal architecture and flag the sign-in and multi-tenancy needs. We would also tell you whether to extend the current backend or add a separate service layer. You leave with that recommendation and a short list of what to verify before anyone builds it.
We encountered this problem in production. On a European EV charging platform we built, chargers from Zaptec, ABB, Easee, and Keba behaved differently on the same OCPP version. We built a gateway with a separate adapter for each manufacturer, so a new charger brand no longer breaks the rest of the platform.
Problems Worth Bringing to the Clinic
Bring a problem with a deadline, a budget, or an unhappy customer behind it. These are the ones we hear most from hardware companies:
Your first hardware is shipping, and customers are asking for an app or a dashboard.
Your device fleet is growing, and every mass reconnect after an outage hits your backend at once.
You are adding a second hardware vendor, and your platform was built around the first.
You have outgrown an IoT or no-code platform, or a vendor repriced or discontinued its software.
A firmware engineer is building the cloud side alone, alongside their real job.
You want AI features on your device data but are not sure the data is ready for it.
Test the Rest With the Readiness Checklist
Every session ends with a printed checklist: How ready is the software behind your hardware? It covers four places where we see connected products break as the fleet grows: new device models, mass reconnects, field performance, and fault data.
You score yourself in five minutes and see where to look next. We don’t publish it online; you get it at booth H37-A10.16 at the end of your session.
Who Should Book a Session
Book a session if your product includes hardware and you have a software problem above the device: cloud, device integration, apps, or AI. The clinic is built for four kinds of companies:
Equipment makers and OEMs that need cloud platforms, apps, or AI around their machines, including equipment connected via PLCs or gateways.
Device and connected-product companies that run software for their own chargers, meters, vehicles, or trackers.
Systems integrators delivering connected solutions who need a software partner for a single workstream.
Hardware and embedded engineering firms that are strong on the device and want a partner for the cloud and app layers.
The best people to reach out to are CTOs, VPs or Directors of Engineering, Heads of Product, or architecture leads. We work mostly in EV charging, energy, industrial equipment, and fleet and logistics.
If your problem is in firmware or electronics, we will say so within the first five minutes. When we can, we will point you to a partner who handles that layer.
Why Bring This Problem to MTechZilla
We build the cloud, integrations, apps, and AI behind connected products, and we stop at the firmware. Our closest proof is a European EV charging platform we have built with its team since 2022.
Production scale: that platform runs 1M+ charging sessions a month across 5,000+ chargers. How we built the platform for 5,000+ chargers.
AI on-device data: we built an MCP server for EV chargers that lets fleet managers query charger status from Claude or ChatGPT.
Security your team can check: SOC 2 Type II audited, with a trust report ready for vendor review. AWS Select Tier Partner.
Honest build vs. buy advice: we tell you when a ready-made platform is the better buy.
The commitment of their developers to our project has been outstanding … it truly felt like they were part of our own team.” Head of Software Development, Swiss EV charging infrastructure provider

GITEX Global 2026 Software Clinic: Questions Visitors Ask Us
Is the clinic session free, and do I have to buy anything afterward?
Yes, it is free, and no. If a follow-up makes sense, we offer a 30-minute call. If not, you keep the recommendation and the checklist.
Do I need to share source code, credentials, or confidential data?
No. We don’t accept production access, credentials, or source code at the booth, and we don’t enter your details into public AI tools. If deeper work follows, it runs under an NDA. Our SOC 2 Type II trust report is available to your security team.
Can I book a slot before the event?
Yes. Register through our Eventbrite page and tell us your problem in one line. We also keep walk-up slots, but booked visitors go first.
What if my problem is in the firmware or electronics?
We will let you know early in the session. We build the software above the device, and when possible, we will introduce you to a partner who works on that layer.
When is GITEX 2026, and what are the timings?
The exhibition runs 8 to 11 December 2026 at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai. Daily hours: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM. We’ll be at booth H37-A10.16 all four days.
What happens after GITEX?
Within 48 hours, we’ll email you a short note with your problem and our recommendation, in your own words where possible. If you need deeper work, we propose a paid discovery.
Who can get a free GITEX pass from MTechZilla?
People from hardware and connected-product companies, while passes last. Register on Eventbrite, and we will send the pass via email.
