The Rise of AI Agents Hackathon
Join us during Dubai AI Week for the Rise of AI Agents Hackathon.
The official The Rise of AI Agents Hackathon will take place on-site at Deriv offices in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, as the finale of a global hybrid event. In the weeks leading up to the Dubai gathering, teams will build remotely and ship projects that showcase next-generation AI Agents capable of reasoning, planning, and autonomous task execution in real-world scenarios.
Participants will explore agentic AI through hands-on building, mentorship, and collaborative development. Projects will focus on designing and deploying AI Agents that go beyond chat interfaces — demonstrating multi-step workflows, intelligent decision-making, tool integration, and practical real-world applications across industries.
Backed by advanced AI technologies including Google DeepMind models, Vultr and partner tooling, the hackathon will reward creativity and technical excellence with a $60,000+ prize pool, on-site pitching opportunities, and recognition for selected teams. The most impactful teams will be invited to present their work in Dubai, connect with ecosystem partners, and showcase how autonomous AI Agents can drive meaningful innovation.
