Thirty startups have secured their spot in the programmes and will develop their disruptive AI solutions during the eight-week programme, launched to provide advanced technology startups and entrepreneurs with an opportunity to develop AI uses and applications in the government and media sectors at AREA 2071, according to a report by the Dubai Media Office.

The accelerator, the first of its kind, was developed in cooperation between DCAI and Dubai Future Accelerators, one of Dubai Future Foundation’s (DFF) initiatives.

The programme supports the development of AI-based solutions to current and future challenges in two main sectors: government services and media and communications.
