Dubai-based automation platform NyuktAI has been crowned the winner of the 5th Edition of Eureka! GCC, the Gulf region’s premier business model competition. The Grand Finale, co-hosted by the Entrepreneurship Cell of IIT Bombay and Gulf Islamic Investments (GII), recognized NyuktAI for its pioneering work in agentic AI and its potential to scale intelligent automation across the Middle East.
Celebrating Innovation Across The Gulf
Following a rigorous five-month journey involving hundreds of applications, the competition culminated in the selection of three standout startups that demonstrated exceptional resilience and market viability. While NyuktAI secured the top spot, the 1st Runner-Up position was awarded to KidsAI, a Dubai-founded edtech startup focusing on AI literacy for children. The 2nd Runner-Up prize went to Apollo Medica, an MIT-backed healthtech venture developing AI-powered orthopedic rehabilitation solutions.
The Eureka! GCC platform provides a 360-degree holistic experience for entrepreneurs, offering mentorship from leading venture capitalists and angel investors. The 5th edition highlighted a clear trend toward specialized artificial intelligence, with all three winners leveraging AI to solve complex challenges in business automation, education, and healthcare.
Scaling Agentic AI And Literacy
NyuktAI’s victory underscores the rising demand for “Agentic AI” in the GCC—systems that do not just process information but act as autonomous agents for business tasks. The platform allows both individuals and multi-functional enterprises to deploy pre-configured AI agents or build custom solutions tailored to specific professional requirements.
In the education sector, runner-up KidsAI is tackling the “AI-native” generation’s needs through its Olii platform. By using gamified learning experiences, the startup helps children aged 5–11 understand the mechanics of intelligent systems, emphasizing ethical awareness and logical reasoning. Meanwhile, Apollo Medica is making strides in the “Large Motion Language” space, using high-precision wearables to digitize orthopedic recovery and improve clinical outcomes for patients worldwide.
