Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Artificial Intelligence Centre Hamburg (ARIC), marking the first international partnership for Sandbox Dubai.
The collaboration aims to position Dubai as a global hub for AI development by inviting top AI innovators and businesses from Europe to test their technologies in the emirate's regulatory sandbox.
ARIC, one of Europe's leading AI centres, brings together experts from business, science, and society to advance AI knowledge. The MoU will facilitate knowledge exchange and connect deep tech innovators and companies from the UAE and Germany. As part of the agreement, DFF will grant access to Sandbox Dubai, a platform launched in 2024 under the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33). The sandbox helps businesses test products in a regulated environment, accelerating the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.
Abdulaziz AlJaziri, Deputy CEO and Chief Operations Officer of DFF, signed the agreement with Alois Krtil, CEO of ARIC.
AlJaziri emphasized that Sandbox Dubai is designed to strengthen Dubai's regulatory and innovation ecosystem while fostering international collaboration.
Krtil highlighted that the partnership will create a platform for innovators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from both countries to exchange knowledge, participate in joint projects, and adopt best practices in AI implementation.
The collaboration is expected to enhance technological advancement and support Dubai’s ambition of becoming a leading business hub for pioneering technologies.
