Ai Everything Abu Dhabi 2026 brings together leading experts and technology companies, spotlighting AI’s expanding role in the industry
At ‘Ai Everything Abu Dhabi 2026’, the world’s largest AI-first Expo and Summit, taking place from 6–7 October at ADNEC Centre, the UAE Ministry of Investment will join global investors, financial institutions and fintech companies exploring the next phase of AI-driven finance.
The scale of this opportunity is already visible in Abu Dhabi’s financial ecosystem. Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is investing more than AED 400mn through 2029 to expand its AI capabilities, strengthen digital infrastructure and modernise regulatory and operational systems, while its asset management ecosystem has grown to 190 fund and asset managers overseeing 276 funds.
Ai emphasis
Participating at ‘Ai Everything Abu Dhabi 2026’, the UAE Ministry of Investment will highlight how it is working towards translating the country’s AI investment momentum into companies, capabilities, high-value jobs and long-term economic growth.
“The ambition is not simply to attract investment, but to build and scale more AI companies in the UAE, scale AI applications across sectors, deepen local capabilities, create high-value jobs and strengthen the country’s position as a global centre for AI,” asserted HE Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, Minister, UAE Ministry of Investment.
Genesis AI, an AI-powered investment advisory company based in Cairo and Dubai, will officially unveil the ‘Financial ID’ at the show. The platform coordinates more than 15 specialised AI agents across valuation, portfolio risk, market sentiment, trading signals, fundamental and technical analysis, and Shariah compliance.
Orchestrated AI systems
“We believe the future belongs to orchestrated multi-agent AI systems, where specialist agents work simultaneously, and a master intelligence layer produces one trusted recommendation,” noted Yousef Eldosoky, Product Manager, Genesis AI.
Meanwhile, exhibitor FairValuation.com is showcasing how it turns financial data into board-ready decisions in minutes. From entity and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) valuations to listed-company analysis, AI-built financial models and professional presentations, every output is designed to be credible, traceable, auditable and ready for scrutiny.
For financial institutions, scaling AI requires infrastructure that can run it securely alongside critical banking systems. Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of enterprise open-source solutions, will showcase Red Hat AI on an open hybrid cloud with sovereign AI capabilities.
“The organisations that will pull ahead are the ones that put AI into how they already work,” said Adrian Pickering, General Manager, Middle East and North Africa, Red Hat. “I expect more agentic systems in the flow of day-to-day work. That only holds if local teams can see what the system is doing and supervise it.”
“A fraud pattern that is new to your bank may already be familiar to another,” observed Artem Gerasimov, Founder and CEO of FedTuna. “We are building FedTuna to turn that shared experience into measurable improvements in each bank’s existing fraud detection. Customer records stay inside the bank, and its team stays in control. We measure success by the additional fraud detected at an agreed false-alarm level,” he added.
AI helps turn savers into first-time investors
Abu Dhabi-headquartered SouqView, an AI-powered, gamified investing app, will preview SouqView V2 at the show, demonstrating how AI can help first-time investors build financial knowledge before putting their own capital at risk.
“Our goal is to make SouqView the first step every investor in the UAE takes,” remarked Mohammed Al Nasri, Founder and CEO of SouqView. “We want people to play, learn, and build real confidence, so when they invest their own money, they already know what they’re doing,” he continued.
Organised by inD, with the Department of Government Enablement as Host Partner and Solutions+, a Mubadala company, as Global Partner, Ai Everything Abu Dhabi brings together institutions and technology leaders shaping the next era of AI, including Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), G42, AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Mistral AI and Dell Technologies, among others.
