- Networking: Collaborate with top-tier tech talent, designers, and founders in the Palestinian ecosystem.
- Market Exposure: A platform to showcase prototypes to a jury of experts and potential investors.
- Awards: Winners will be celebrated and awarded during the official Palestine AI Week Conference.
- Resource Access: Opportunity to use advanced frameworks like CrewAI, LangGraph, and low-code tools like n8n.
Primary Focus Areas
Participants are encouraged to build autonomous agents within the following tracks:
- Public Services & Civic Innovation: Smart city solutions and government efficiency.
- Business Automation: Streamlining corporate workflows and decision support.
- Healthcare Assistance: AI agents for patient care and medical data analysis.
- Education & Learning: Personalized and automated tutoring systems.
- Multi-Agent Systems: Complex environments where multiple AI agents collaborate.
Key Dates and Schedule
