BUILT ON DUBAI’S TRACK RECORD

Built on Dubai’s
Proven Model

Dubai’s innovation programmes have engaged more than 1,000 startups, scale-ups and technology companies to address government and city challenges, delivered through the Dubai Future Accelerators platform.

Our aim is to establish a repeatable, governed framework for deploying agentic AI across Dubai Government.

WHY NOW

A New Generation of
Public-facing
Government Services

Agentic AI can help services understand needs, coordinate actions, support decisions and guide users through complete journeys.

The opportunity is significant, and the delivery model must be equally advanced: fast, collaborative, secure and accountable from the star. That is what this accelerator is built to do.
