Dubai-it Build Lab

​8 November · 9 AM – 5 PM

​Following Dubai-it, A Meeting of the Global Shapers Community, Dubai Hub is bringing the conversation from ideas to execution. In partnership with Replit, Dubai-it Build Lab is a one-day, hands-on session where participants design and build their own AI agents, grounded in the ideas and challenges that shaped Dubai-it.

​No long panels and no slides you’ll forget by tomorrow. You come with an idea and leave with a working prototype.

​What to expect

• ​Build, not just talk. Turn a Dubai-it idea into a functioning AI agent using Replit’s tools.

• ​Guided from start to finish. Mentors will help you shape the problem, build the agent and refine it.

• ​Work in teams. Collaborate with founders, students, policymakers and builders from across Dubai.

• ​Show what you made. Teams present their agents at the end of the day.

​Who it’s for
Anyone who wants to build with AI: developers, designers, founders, students and public-sector professionals. No coding experience required.
