The hackathon runs from 21st to 25th April 2025. The first three days (21st–23rd April) will be held virtually, where you'll attend online sessions, meet your mentors, and begin building ideas with your team.
On 24th and 25th April, you'll join us in person at Emirates Towers Boulevard, AREA 2071 and Dubai Future Accelerators. These final two days will focus on refining your solution, mentoring, and presenting your work to peers, partners, and judges. -
Anyone with an interest in artificial intelligence is welcome — whether you’re a student, startup innovator, researcher, or working professional. We’re building diverse, cross-functional teams, so coders, designers, strategists, and storytellers all have a role to play.
Spaces are limited, and successful applicants will be notified by email. The earlier you register, the better your chances of securing a spot.
Selection into the hack is at the discretion of the organisers. -
Over the course of five days, you’ll:
Collaborate with a team to build an autonomous AI agent that solves a real-world challenge
Attend live virtual sessions and engage with AI experts during the online phase
Work with mentors to improve your solution
Pitch your final prototype in person at AREA 2071 during the last two days
This is your chance to build at the frontier of AI with a city that’s designing its future around it.
-
Registration is now open and will close ahead of the event. Sign up by filling out the registration form above.
Once registered, we’ll be in touch via email and Discord with your next steps. We’ll also share updates on Devpost, so be sure to keep an eye out. -
Hackathons are more than just building fast — they’re about learning fast. You’ll grow your network, build with purpose, and get access to mentors who can help you level up. Whether you're new to AI or already building with it, this is your chance to push the limits — and maybe win something, too.
-
You’ll have access to mentors throughout the hackathon. Mentor bookings will be organised via Discord, and you’ll also get the chance to connect during both the virtual and in-person sessions. They’re here to challenge and guide your team — don’t be shy to reach out!
-
You can absolutely sign up as an individual. We’ll support team formation through dedicated onboarding and Discord channels. Each team will bring together complementary skill sets to build more powerful and effective AI agents. No one gets left behind.
