Ai Everything AbuDhabi Coverage: AI Labs turns the event floor into a forum for practical use cases

The free talks connected sport, facilities, education, security, public services and venture capital.

ABU DHABI, 6 October 2026 — AI Labs gave Ai Everything Abu Dhabi visitors a sequence of short, open-stage discussions focused on applied uses rather than a single industry. The 6 October talks moved from the edge of AI in racing through service operations and sovereign capability, before ending with investor conversations and a youth debate.

Aspire CEO Stephane Timpano opened the Tech Talks with “Racing At the Edge of AI.” Khadamat’s Ahmed Saleh brought the conversation to an intelligent facilities-management service desk. Phaza founder Amer Tarawneh examined regional ownership of AI, and Unframe global field CTO Chris Slovak raised the question of whether organizations can keep their advantage when they rent the underlying tools.

An INSEAD group — Peter Zemsky, Lite Nartey, Florian Schloderer and Carole Montias — examined management education in the AI era. Novomind CEO Hossam Amer used a government service as the setting for a transition from chatbot to agent. Technology Innovation Institute engineer Ammar Battah addressed the security challenge of moving from sensor inputs to operational action.

The later talks linked enterprise practice to trust and entrepreneurship. Dr. Mohamad El Dallal of IEEE and Ravikiran Annaswamy of Numocity Technologies discussed adaptation in entrepreneurship. Christophe Zoghbi of Zaka, Roland Rammal of Make.com, Mohamed El Hajj of Anthropic and Larissa Abi Nakhle of IEEE Entrepreneurship examined how to design agentic systems people can trust. The AI Vest block then brought Nuwa Capital, Bundle, 21 Ventures, G42, Harmonic Discovery and Plug and Play Abu Dhabi into the discussion of investable AI businesses.
