UAE AI Founders' Pitch Week
📌 Private 1:1 pitches, not a group event. Apply by Sep 18. Applications are reviewed, and if selected, you book your pitch on a date that suits you.
🔥 Ship your AI product without burning your round or giving up equity.
You have the product. You have early customers. What you do not have is enough senior AI engineers to ship at the speed this market moves.
We close that gap. Up to $250K in engineering and AI/ML architects, embedded with your team, to build your product. You keep 100% of your equity and IP. Funded by AWS.

📊 Why Now
The UAE is one of the fastest-moving AI markets in the world. AI startups raised $519M in 2025, up 267% year over year and about 60% of the region's total AI funding. Abu Dhabi's AI companies grew 67% to roughly 700 firms, and a new $500M fund is backing early-stage AI in 2026. Dubai alone has over 1,700 active startups, up 33% in a year.
Capital and ambition are not the bottleneck here. Senior AI engineering to build fast is. That is what this program provides.
