Inside the Room: Where AI Meets Capital
An invite-only discussion exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping technology, investment and the future of capital.
AI is changing how companies are built, how investors make decisions, and where the next generation of opportunities will emerge.
On Friday 4 September, House of Arāya and Arāya Ventures will bring together investors, family offices, allocators and technology leaders in Dubai for a series of conversations exploring the ideas shaping the next decade.
Three conversations. An evening dedicated to exploring where AI and capital are heading next.
