Before you begin

This programme is for companies building, deploying or enabling agentic AI — systems that pursue a goal across multiple steps, choose and call tools or APIs, take action in external systems, and adapt based on the results, with limited or checkpoint-based human intervention.

The deadline for submissions is 15th September.

Section 1 — Your Personal Information

This section captures information about you, the primary point of contact for your organisation throughout the application process. All communication regarding next steps will be sent to you.

What is your first name? *

Please enter your first name as it appears on your passport.

What is your last name? *

Please enter your last name as it appears on your passport.

Please share the email address where we can reach you regarding your application. Use a company domain email where possible.

How can we find you on LinkedIn? *

Please share the URL of your LinkedIn profile.

What is your current job title in this organisation? *

Please tell us your current role in the applying company.

Are you a Founder of the organisation? *

Please let us know if you are a Founder / Co-Founder of the applying company.

What are the full names and LinkedIn profile URLs of your organisation's Founders / Co-Founders? *

Please share the names and LinkedIn profile URLs for all Founders / Co-Founders of the applying company.

Section 2 — Company Profile

Tell us about your company and where it sits in the agentic AI landscape.

What is the registered legal name of your company? *

Please share the full legal name of the company applying for the programme, exactly as registered.

In one sentence, what does your company do? *

Example: "We build autonomous AI agents that handle X end-to-end for Y, replacing Z hours of manual work."

Tell us in more detail what your company does. *

If you offer multiple products or services, focus on your agentic AI capabilities — systems that plan, decide and act with limited human intervention — and the outcomes they deliver.

What is your company's website? *

Please share your company's web URL.

Where is your company headquartered? *

Where is the current HQ of your company?

Which best describes your position in the AI market? *

Select the description that best matches your primary commercial offering.

Please specify your position in the AI market. *

Is your company Dubai AI Seal certified? *

The Dubai AI Seal is an accreditation issued in Dubai that verifies AI companies and their solutions. Certification is not a requirement for this programme and will not disqualify your application.

Please share your Dubai AI Seal reference number and the date it was issued or submitted. *

If your application is still under review, share the submission date and reference where available.

Does your company build, deploy or enable agentic AI? *

For this programme, agentic AI means systems that pursue a goal over multiple steps — planning, selecting and calling tools or APIs, taking action in external systems, and adapting based on results — with limited or checkpoint-based human intervention. A chatbot that only answers questions is not agentic. A system that reads a case file, checks three systems, drafts the decision and files it is.

Thank you for your interest in the DCAI Accelerators Programme.

This cohort is focused specifically on agentic AI — systems that pursue a goal across multiple steps, call tools or APIs, and take action in external systems. Based on your answer above, your solution is not a fit for this particular programme, so there is no need to complete the remaining questions.

We would still be glad to consider you for other Dubai Future Foundation programmes. Please confirm below and submit — we will keep your details on file.

Would you like to be considered for other Dubai Future Foundation programmes?

Yes — please keep my details on file and contact me about other Dubai Future Foundation programmes that may be a better fit.

Section 3 — Agentic AI Capability

This section is the core of the application. Please answer for what is running today, not what is planned. Most of these questions are multiple choice.

Describe your flagship agentic solution: what task does the agent complete end-to-end, and what would a human otherwise do? *

Walk us through one concrete workflow from trigger to outcome: what the agent receives, which steps it takes on its own, which systems it touches, and what it hands back.

What level of autonomy does your solution operate at in live customer deployments today? *

Please answer for what is running in production today, not what is technically possible.

What actions can your agents take in external systems? *

Read-only retrieval and search across systems
Create or update records in internal databases and business systems
Send communications on behalf of the organisation (email, messaging, tickets)
Generate documents, reports or regulatory filings
Initiate financial transactions or payments
Provision, configure or operate IT systems
Write, test or deploy code
Control or dispatch physical assets, robots or field operations
Make or trigger decisions that affect an end customer or citizen
Other (please specify)

Select only the actions your agents perform in live deployments today.

Please specify the other action(s) your agents take in external systems. *

Which models power your agents? *

This tells us how easily a customer could switch the underlying model.

Please specify which models power your agents. *

How do you know your agents work, and what happens when they get it wrong? *

Cover three things briefly: (1) how you measure performance — task success rate, accuracy against a benchmark, human review sampling, with real numbers where you have them; (2) what happens when the agent is uncertain or makes an error — escalation, rollback, audit trail; (3) your main safety and security controls — permission scoping, prompt injection defences, PII handling, action logging.

Which deployment models can you support? *

Multi-tenant SaaS
Single-tenant / dedicated cloud instance
Customer private cloud or VPC
On-premise
Air-gapped / fully isolated environment
Edge or on-device
Hybrid

Can your solution operate entirely within UAE data residency requirements? *

Government partners frequently require that data does not leave the country. Answering "no" will not automatically disqualify you.

What is your solution's Arabic language capability? *

What would a realistic 2-week pilot with a government entity look like for your solution? *

Set out what you could credibly deliver in two weeks: the scope, the data and system access you would need from the Entity Partner, the effort required from their team, and what success would look like at the end. Be realistic.

Section 4 — Track Record

Show us your agentic AI in the real world. Evidence and numbers carry more weight than description.

Share case studies that showcase your agentic AI solutions, particularly those delivered with government or private sector partners. *

Describe up to two deployments. For each: the client type, the problem, what the agent did autonomously, how long deployment took, and the measurable result — hours saved, cost reduction, cycle-time or accuracy improvement, volume handled. Please state where a figure is an estimate.

What is the current stage of the agentic solution(s) described above? *

Have you deployed this / these solution(s) with a live customer before? *

Where have you deployed this / these solution(s)? *

Please include countries, government entities, private sector clients, and the scale of deployment (for example number of users, agents in production, or tasks handled per month).

Please share a link to a product demo. *

A short recorded walkthrough or a live demo environment showing the agent actually completing a task carries significant weight in review. Please make sure the link is publicly accessible, or provide access credentials.

Programme Participation Acknowledgement *

I understand that the DCAI Accelerator Programme: Agentic AI in Government Services Build Sprint is a 2-week in-residence programme in Dubai. If selected, our company will work closely with an Entity Partner, though participation may not necessarily result in a signed agreement. Dubai Future Foundation will cover flights and accommodation for up to two team members, both of whom must hold leadership or decision-making roles, with at least one responsible for implementing technical changes. Both members are required to be present on-site for the full duration of the programme. Additional terms and conditions apply.
