Pioneering giants driving the commercial applications of AI, such as Hisense, Salesforce, Sprinklr, and ZainTECH also have an address at Dubai Internet City.
As the base of in5 Tech - the sector-dedicated vertical of TECOM Group's in5 start-up incubator - Dubai Internet City also nurtures disruptors accelerating entrepreneurship in the region and has served as the backdrop for landmark transactions such as the acquisition of Careem in 2020 for a groundbreaking AED 11.3 billion by Uber - the first unicorn exit in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region - as well as Amazon's acquisition of Souq.com in 2017.
Innovators based at in5, such as Derq, Tabby, and Halo AI, are further supported by Dubai Internet City's environment to incubate future talent, including networking platforms to connect entrepreneurs championing AI for good; and upskilling pathways through Dubai Internet City's sister districts, Dubai Knowledge Park and Dubai International Academic City.
With customers such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Google strengthening the regional knowledge base of AI through targeted government partnerships and industry events, Dubai Internet City's community is reinforcing the power of collaboration in enabling the future digital economy.
