Where MENA's AI Builders Connect, Learn, and Scale
A curated community connecting AI founders, investors, and talent across the Middle East & North Africa and beyond.
The Home of AI in MENA
We connect the people shaping the future of AI in the region: founders, engineers, investors, researchers, and policymakers.
It’s a space where:
→ Founders find distribution and support
→ Investors discover dealflow
→ Talent finds real opportunities
→ The curious find upskilling, inspiration, and clarity
Powered by our platform, MENA AI brings live sessions, curated directories, and community tools under one roof so every insight turns into action.
The next wave of AI won't just be built in Silicon Valley. It will emerge from regions that move fast, think differently, and solve for millions.
MENA sits at the intersection of three continents, speaks to 400+ million people, and represents some of the world's fastest-growing digital economies. Yet our builders, researchers, and capital remain fragmented.
The gap isn't talent.
It's connection.

We are changing corporate AI learning & development in the region, too.
AI is evolving too fast for traditional training methods to keep up. Online courses and self-paced videos leave employees overwhelmed, learning in silos, and struggling to apply AI in real-world scenarios.
At Mena.ai, we believe in a revolutionary approach to AI learning—social learning. Instead of passive content consumption, we offer an active, community-driven experience where employees can ask questions, share insights, and learn together in real-time.
Why social learning?
AI is constantly evolving—no single course can keep up, but a community can.
People learn better together—peer-to-peer engagement makes AI adoption faster and more effective.
Real-world problem-solving—instead of just watching videos, employees gain practical, applicable AI knowledge from industry peers.
How companies can benefit:
Invite your employees for free to the region’s largest AI social learning platform.
Empower continuous learning with real-time discussions, shared experiences, and expert guidance.
For tailored AI training programs, we offer curated learning experiences designed for your organization’s specific needs.
The future of corporate AI learning isn’t in courses—it’s in communities. Ready to bring your team into the conversation?
