AI Everything Middle East & Africa launches in Cairo, Egypt, from 11–12 February 2026, marking the region’s most influential gathering for AI innovation. Organised by GITEX GLOBAL and hosted by Egypt’s Ministry of Communications & Information Technology (MCIT), the event unites the world’s top AI leaders, enterprises, startups, policymakers and investors from more than 60 countries.
The event will showcase the region’s most promising AI-first startups, a “pitch arena” where founders will pitch ideas before global investors, and curate one-to-one meetings to connect attendees.
It will also host the Global AI Hackathon, where data scientists solve real-world industry problems, and an AI academy with hands-on labs, workshops and demonstrations for developers, researchers and professionals.
There will also be an exclusive ‘CAIO Programme’ where chief AI officers and enterprise AI leaders can access confidential briefings, roundtables and sessions on AI deployments, governance, national alignment and more.
