Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed has officially unveiled the 'Create AI Agents Championship,' a global initiative inviting innovators to develop cutting-edge, autonomous AI-assisted systems. Moving beyond traditional app development, this competition challenges participants to create practical, scalable solutions that address real-world needs across personal, community, and business sectors. With no age or technical background restrictions, the platform is open to everyone from seasoned tech experts and existing companies to students and hobbyists, provided their projects are still in the prototype or early development phase.

The competition is divided into four distinct categories: Societal, Personal, Business, and Youth, with the latter reserved for innovators under 21. Each category winner will be awarded a Dh550,000 grant to help scale their project, while one standout entry will be crowned 'AI Agent of the Year,' taking home an additional Dh1 million. To support participants, organizers are offering an extensive range of resources, including introductory workshops, specialized mentoring, and advanced training through the 'Digital Academy' starting this November. Registration is now open, with the final deadline for project submissions set for December 2026.
