AIBotics underscores APARA’s mission to promote human-centric, ethical, and sustainable AI innovation, echoing the UAE’s commitment to digital advancement.

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

First launched in 2019, AIBotics has grown into a globally respected forum for advancing intelligent and assistive robotics, bridging academia, research, and enterprise. With past editions in Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, and participation from institutions such as MIT, KPMG, and the National University of Singapore, the platform’s expansion into the UAE will further strengthen Dubai’s position as a global nexus for applied AI and robotics excellence.

Strategic Alignment with Dubai’s Innovation Leadership
