📌 Private 1:1 pitches, not a group event. Apply by Sep 18.

Sectors: Enterprise AI, B2B SaaS, FinTech, HealthTech, AI agents, developer tools. Best fit: teams with real customers and traction, ready to move from custom work to a production-ready product, and heading into their next funding stage. 📅 How It Works On the call: just our technical and program leads. No investors, no other founders, no audience. Bring your AI vision, current state, biggest AI challenge, and 2026 roadmap. 📊 Why Now The UAE is one of the fastest-moving AI markets in the world. AI startups raised $519M in 2025, up 267% year over year and about 60% of the region's total AI funding. Abu Dhabi's AI companies grew 67% to roughly 700 firms, and a new $500M fund is backing early-stage AI in 2026. Dubai alone has over 1,700 active startups, up 33% in a year. Capital and ambition are not the bottleneck here. Senior AI engineering to build fast is. That is what this program provides. ❓ FAQ Is this equity or a loan?No. No equity, no revenue share, no repayment. What does the funding cover?AI/ML architects, forward-deployed engineers, and development resources to build your AI product. Are there obligations if we accept?No exclusivity and no required long-term contract. The one condition is that the build is done with our team. Do we keep our IP?Yes. 100% of the code and IP is yours. 🚀 Apply Now Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so apply early.
