Abu Dhabi’s Department of Government Enablement will host Ai Everything Abu Dhabi from 6-7 October 2026 at ADNEC Centre, bringing together more than 400 AI infrastructure builders, model makers and startups from 60 countries.
The sold-out event, organised by inD, will also feature more than 200 investors managing $91 billion in assets and over 180 speakers. Mistral co-founder and CEO Arthur Mensch and Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert are among the headline speakers, appearing together in the UAE for the first time to discuss sovereign AI and industrial intelligence.
More than 50 UAE government entities are participating. DGE said it is working to make Abu Dhabi the world’s first AI-native government by 2027, supported by a $3.54 billion government digital strategy. More than 100 AI use cases are already live across 40-plus integrated government entities, according to the department.
The summit will include demonstrations from Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute, including GeoAI, a machine-learning model of the UAE’s northern subsurface geology. Companies including AWS, Microsoft, Oracle, Intel, Dell, HPE, Alibaba Cloud and ElevenLabs are also expected to attend.
Solutions+, a Mubadala company, is the event’s global partner.
