In line with its goal of empowering innovators to harness the transformative power of AI, Dubai-based entrepreneurship incubator in5 is offering networking and educational opportunities at Dubai AI Festival, taking place on April 23-24, at Madinat Jumeirah.

"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 startup specializing in video listings.
