the dune ai challenge

The world’s premier AI challenge hosted in Saudi Arabia with the brightest AI minds from all over the world

Vision

Progress is built on three pillars: talent, capital, and industry. The United States leads with world-class talent and unmatched financial power. China dominates as the global industrial powerhouse and a rising force in AI innovation. Saudi Arabia, an emerging superpower, holds vast market potential and an ambitious vision for the future.

At the heart of this transformation is Saudi Vision 2030, a bold initiative to position Saudi Arabia as a leader in innovation, technology, and economic diversification. By harnessing the strengths of talent, capital, and industry on a global scale, Saudi Arabia is not just participating in the future—it is spearheading it.
