The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), in collaboration with Dubai Future Accelerators under the Dubai Future Foundation, has opened applications for the second cycle of the “The Future of AI in Government Services“ Accelerator Program. The initiative targets startups and entrepreneurs in advanced technology to create innovative AI-powered solutions for enhancing and developing government services in Dubai.
The programme focuses on four key areas: enhancing current services through customization or improvement, creating new services to address existing challenges, streamlining processes by integrating AI tools into daily operations, and increasing inclusivity to ensure services are accessible to all segments of society anywhere.
Applications are open until 29 August 2025 via www.dubaifuture.ae/ai-in-government-services. Selected companies will work with over 20 government entities during an eight-week residency in Dubai from 6 October to 28 November 2025, with fully sponsored travel and accommodation and no equity taken from participants’ technologies.
Saeed Al Falasi, Executive Director of DCAI, stated that the programme was launched under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aiming to position Dubai among the top global leaders in delivering fast, high-quality AI-powered public services. He emphasized the vision to create seamless, intelligent experiences that enhance quality of life and contribute to making Dubai the happiest city in the world.
The first cycle attracted 615 companies from 55 countries and piloted 75 AI use cases, underscoring Dubai’s leadership in AI-driven governance.
