The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) has opened applications for the second edition of its “Future of AI in Government Services Accelerator” programme, inviting global tech innovators and AI firms to develop and implement advanced solutions in partnership with more than 20 government entities.
Organised in collaboration with Dubai Future Accelerators, part of the Dubai Future Foundation, the initiative is a central component of the ‘Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence’, which aims to position the emirate as the world’s leading hub for AI-driven innovation across all key sectors.
This cycle will focus on enhancing personalisation and efficiency in services, creating new AI-based solutions to address unresolved challenges, boosting operational efficiency in government processes, and expanding accessibility to ensure services reach all segments of society.
Selected participants will gain direct access to senior decision-makers, receive mentorship from AI and industry experts, and work alongside government teams to pilot their solutions. DCAI will take no equity stake, ensuring innovators retain full ownership of their projects.
The programme will run as an intensive eight-week residency in Dubai from October 6 to November 28, 2025, with fully sponsored accommodation and travel, allowing participants to focus entirely on developing and implementing their solutions in a live government setting.
The inaugural edition attracted 615 AI companies from 55 countries, producing 183 AI use cases, with 75 already piloted.
