Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai AI Week 2025 is driving a bold agenda to position the emirate as a global hub for artificial intelligence.
The event, organised by the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) and overseen by the Dubai Future Foundation, is bringing together global tech giants, government entities, and industry leaders to foster AI collaboration and innovation for sustainable development.
With strategic partners including Digital Dubai, DEWA, the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, and the UAE AI Office, the event highlights Dubai’s commitment to harnessing AI as a cornerstone of its digital economy. Participating government entities such as the Dubai Health Authority, DET, GDRFA-Dubai, and Dubai Police reflect the city's whole-of-government approach to digital transformation.
Global tech leaders—Google Cloud, Microsoft, Meta, IBM, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and more—are actively engaging in panels, showcases, and collaborations. Consulting powerhouses like PwC, BCG, and McKinsey’s QuantumBlack are on board as knowledge partners, guiding the conversation on responsible AI implementation and industry impact.
“Dubai AI Week exemplifies our leadership’s vision to make Dubai a world leader in AI,”
said Saeed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, which recently unveiled its roadmap to become the world’s first AI-powered utility provider.
Key highlights of the week include the AI Retreat, the Dubai Assembly for AI, Global Prompt Engineering Championship, and the Machines Can See Summit. Educational initiatives like AI Week in Schools and sector-focused forums further underline Dubai’s comprehensive, future-ready approach.
From fostering open-source ecosystems to driving skills development, Dubai AI Week is not just a showcase—it’s a statement of intent for a future shaped by innovation, inclusion, and collaboration.
