The inaugural APAC-Dubai Digital Xchange (ADDx) will bring together Asia’s leading AI and robotics innovators with the Middle East’s top enterprise and government leaders on November 19–20, 2025, at The Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel, Dubai. The summit aligns with the UAE AI Strategy 2031 and Dubai’s Smart City initiatives, marking a milestone in cross-border innovation between Asia and the Middle East. Designed as an outcomes-driven event, ADDx aims to accelerate innovation adoption, policy alignment, and market deployment.

Strategic Launch Platform for Regional Innovation

ADDx serves as the official launch platform for the UAE Chapter of two Singapore-based industry associations – the Asia AI Association (AAIA) and the APAC Assistive Robotics Association (APARA). This expansion positions Dubai as the region’s AI and robotics innovation hub, supporting the UAE’s goal of becoming a global AI leader by 2031 through technology transfer, collaboration, and knowledge-based growth.

“As we gather at the APAC-Dubai Digital Xchange, we must recognize that the future of Asia’s digital economy depends on responsible and collaborative AI development,” said Teddy Lee, President of the Asia AI Association. “Our UAE Chapter will serve as a bridge that connects policy, innovation, and enterprise to unlock AI’s full potential for all.”

The launch will convene policymakers, startups, investors, academics, and innovation leaders, fostering partnerships aligned with the UAE’s national ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision and Dubai’s ongoing digital-transformation roadmap.

AIBotics: Bringing AI and Robotics to Life

A key highlight of ADDx 2025 is AIBotics, APARA’s flagship initiative showcasing the convergence of AI and robotics under a distinctive “Made-in-UAE” identity. AIBotics promotes responsible AI and robotics adoption across industries, emphasizing human-centric innovation, ethics, and sustainability in line with the UAE’s digital-economy agenda.

“The rise of Artificial Intelligence applications has transformed industries globally. AI in robotics represents the next frontier – and the UAE provides fertile ground to incubate noble innovations,” said Oliver Tian, Honorary Adviser of APARA. “AIBotics is our mission to bring this concept to life, and we are proud to launch it here in November 2025.”

Launched in 2019, AIBotics has become an internationally recognized platform bridging academia, research, and enterprise. Its expansion into the UAE accelerates collaboration between Asian innovators and Middle Eastern enterprises, strengthening Dubai’s position as a center for applied AI and robotics excellence.

Strategic Alignment with Dubai’s Innovation Leadership

The summit positions Dubai as the strategic crossroads for innovation exchange between Asia and the Middle East. By fostering direct partnerships among governments, enterprises, and technology creators, ADDx supports the UAE’s economic diversification and knowledge-based growth goals.

“Dubai isn’t just hosting another summit – it’s defining the crossroads where Asia’s trailblazers meet the Middle East’s innovation frontier” said Jona Oboza, Founder and CEO of Acceler8 AI, a strategic partner of the ADDx. “We’re building more than a stage for dialogue; we’re designing the digital infrastructure that connects Asia and Dubai - linking cities, innovators, and industries to power a shared vision of intelligent.”

The two-day event will feature VIP roundtables, tabletop showcases, and keynote spotlights, prioritizing real-world adoption and meaningful engagement. Over 100 senior executives from across Asia and the Middle East including C-suite leaders, innovation directors, and government stakeholders are expected to attend.
