Building AI Agents? Entrepreneur Middle East Wants to Hear From the Founders Shaping the Agentic Era

Agentic AI has moved from experiment to expectation, but adoption is running ahead of execution. While organizations implemented agentic AI, only few have used it to build autonomous workflows. 

That gap between companies trying AI agents and companies actually running on them is where the next generation of technology businesses is being built, and it is not unique to any one country.

Demand in the region is being set at scale: the UAE has announced a target of running 50% of federal government sectors, services and operations on agentic AI within two years. For founders anywhere, the Middle East is fast becoming one of the most important markets to understand, and to be seen in.

Entrepreneur Middle East wants to hear from the founders working in that space. 

We want to know what your agents do, who relies on them, what results they deliver, and what is standing in your way, whether that is talent, trust, funding or regulation. 

Building a new category is hard, often lonely, and frequently misunderstood by the people who stand to benefit from it most, and we see our role as giving those founders a platform to be heard while the story is still being written, and to be found by the investors, partners and clients looking for them. 

If you are a founder or co-founder of a company building or deploying agentic AI in the UAE or globally, at any stage from pre-seed to scale, tell us about your work by filling in this short form: https://forms.gle/HnKYb5czh9e4VZii8.

Submissions close on November 20, 2026, and selected founders may be featured across Entrepreneur Middle East’s print and digital platforms.
