What it is

Design, build and launch a real-world AI agent as part of Dubai AI Week, hosted at Deriv's Business Bay offices with a prize pool listed at over $60,000. Join solo or with a team; on-site participation is invitation-only and travel isn't covered.

Our take

The largest disclosed prize pool on this list, aimed squarely at the agent wave. 'Real-world AI agent' briefs reward reliability over cleverness — a boring agent that never fails a demo beats an ambitious one that does. Apply early; invitation-only floors fill from the early applicant pool.
