in5, the region’s leading start-up and entrepreneurship incubator, is set to empower innovators and spotlight the vital role of capacity-building in artificial intelligence (AI) as Strategic Partner of Dubai AI Festival, taking place on 23-24 April at Madinat Jumeirah.
A uniting platform for innovators to unlock global growth, in5 was founded by TECOM Group PJSC in 2013, and accelerates entrepreneurship through four dedicated verticals for the tech, media, design, and science sectors. In line with its goal of empowering innovators to harness the transformative pow-er of AI, in5 will offer networking and educational opportunities at Dubai AI Festival.
“Nurturing a thriving tech ecosystem is crucial to unlock exponential economic growth,” said Majed Al Suwaidi, Senior Vice President at TECOM Group PJSC, on behalf of in5. “Our Strategic Partner-ship with Dubai AI Festival is aimed at solidifying Dubai’s position at the forefront of the digital econ-omy, and we will continue to empower the next generation of AI experts, innovators, and technologists, in line with Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33’ and UAE Digital Economy Strategy.”
At Dubai AI Festival, in5 will spotlight the region’s leading innovators and entrepreneurs that have un-locked business success from its ecosystem, including KinesteX, an AI-powered fitness trainer and Viewit, a PropTech start-up specialising in video listings.
