Abu Dhabi is preparing to host a major international artificial intelligence gathering as AI Everything Abu Dhabi takes place on October 6–7 at the ADNEC Center. The two-day expo and summit will bring together AI companies, technology executives, investors, researchers and government representatives from around the world.
Organizers say the event will feature more than 400 AI-first companies and over 180 speakers, with participants from more than 70 countries. The program will focus on how AI is moving from experimentation into practical deployment across governments and industries.
The event will feature prominent technology figures, including Arthur Mensch, co-founder and CEO of Mistral AI, and Marc Raibert, founder of Boston Dynamics. Other speakers include senior executives from Microsoft, NetApp, Airbus, Ericsson and several AI-focused companies.
Companies including Microsoft, Oracle, Intel, AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Dell, HPE, Nokia and Snowflake are also part of the international exhibitor lineup. Their participation reflects the growing focus on AI infrastructure, cloud computing, enterprise software and deployment at scale.
A key theme at the expo will be sovereign AI, as governments and businesses seek greater control over computing infrastructure, data and AI capabilities. The summit will examine AI applications across government, healthcare, energy, finance, mobility and security.
More than 50 UAE government entities are participating, led by Abu Dhabi’s Department of Government Enablement. The department is showcasing AI use cases as part of its wider transformation programme.
