-
Providing materially false information or materially breaching these Rules may result in disqualification or other reasonable action by the Organiser.
IV. JUDGING
-
The Joint Organisers will shortlist submissions at their discretion. Shortlisted proposals may be further evaluated by a panel comprising representatives of the Joint Organisers and/or industry experts (the “Panel”).
-
The Panel’s decisions on all matters relating to the Challenge, including eligibility and winner selection, are final. The Panel is not obliged to select a winner if no Project Proposal is of sufficient merit.
-
Subject to Section VII (IP), the Challenge Partner may, in its sole discretion and independently of the Organiser and Platform Facilitator, choose to further engage with, test, pilot, support or develop any Project Proposals with any Participant participating in the Challenge.
-
The Organiser may disqualify entries that are irrelevant, offensive, fraudulent, infringing, unsafe, or otherwise non-compliant with these Rules. The Organiser may replace any winner found to be in breach of these Rules or otherwise ineligible, withhold unpaid Incentives, and require repayment of Incentives already paid.
-
From registration, all Participants agree to attend (or send a representative to) meetings, presentations, pitching sessions, prototype testing, judging sessions, and award ceremonies scheduled by the Organiser (“Events”). At least one team member should attend each Event. If a Participant cannot attend, they must notify the Organiser as early as possible with a valid reason. Failure to attend without notice may result in disqualification.
-
The Joint Organisers may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, or other automated tools ("AI Tools") to assist in screening, evaluating, or scoring Project Proposals. AI Tools may be used to summarise submissions, check eligibility, extract data, flag submissions for review, or score submissions against criteria. No final award or disqualification decision will be made solely based on AI output without human review. Participants acknowledge that AI Tools have inherent limitations. To the extent permitted by law, the Joint Organisers are not liable for errors, omissions, or bias arising from AI Tool use, except where caused by the Joint Organisers’ gross negligence or wilful default.
V. CHALLENGE PROCESS
-
Challenge Rounds. The Challenge consists of several rounds:
-
- APPLICATION PHASE (ROUND ONE) | Project Proposals will be accepted from June 2026 to 9 September 2026
- SCREENING AND SCORING PHASE (ROUND TWO) | The screening and evaluation of Participants will finish by September 2026. The most innovative solutions will be selected and the announcements to the shortlisted innovators will be done by September 2026.
- VIRTUAL PITCH PHASE (ROUND THREE) | The shortlisted innovators will be invited to present their solutions through short virtual pitches. Innovators will have 7 days from being notified of their shortlist status to submit their finalised slides/pitch materials. Innovators will then pitch virtually. The “Evaluators” (together, the Organiser and Challenge Partner) will score and review the pitches and select the finalists.
- VALIDATION PHASE (ROUND FOUR) | Finalists will submit materials to enable validation of their solution. This will require submitting the full model, training data, and any required materials to validate and reproduce the solution. Experts will validate the materials and verify that solutions are viable and reproducible.
- FINAL REVIEW (FINAL) | Expert evaluators will review all the submitted materials from the finalists and select a winner by October 2026.
Notification to Participants. Once selection has been completed, Participants will be notified directly on the platform chat about the results of each Round. The Joint Organisers will be free to alter the dates on which results are released should this become necessary due to the number of projects to be assessed. The Platform Facilitator will notify the Participants accordingly.
- Round One
All Round One Project Proposals must be submitted before 9 September 2026 at 23:59 (GMT+4). Project Proposals must meet the specifications set out in Section II, above, and include:
- Answers to the participation form
- Docker image
- Max 5 page proposal, in English only, addressing the following:
-
- Technical Approach (detailed methodology and expected outputs)
- Outcome Metrics (mean average precision, precision, recall, F1, inference efficiency)
- Team Capacity (participant background, capacity, and capability to develop the solution)
- Prior Work (details on any proof of concept, additional development, or existing applications of the solution)
- Round Two
Screening and Evaluation following Round One will proceed as follows:
An initial pass-fail screening to exclude spam or irrelevant submissions followed by criteria-based scoring by experts using rubrics and defined criteria. This will take place in September 2026.
The Evaluators may evaluate and select the Project Proposals based on their content and the following criteria:
- Technical Innovation (30%)
- Detection Accuracy (25%)
- Real-Time Performance (15%)
- Documentation / Visualization & Reporting (10%)
- Team Competency / Solution Articulation (20%)
Additional criteria might be added at a later stage. The Platform Facilitator shall inform all Participants if this happens, as well as update the Challenge Website accordingly.
Shortlisted innovators will be announced on the platform in September 2026.
- Round Three
Shortlisted Participants will have 7 days from being notified of their shortlist status to complete a slide deck to accompany their pitch. On the to be announced Pitch Date, shortlisted Participants will give a short virtual pitch to the evaluators and may respond to questions from the evaluators. Details on the pitch content and a slide template will be shared with shortlisted teams. Based on the results, the list of finalist innovators will be announced.
- Round Four
Finalists will submit materials to enable validation of their solution by experts. This could include a prototype/demonstration, data, or other materials as required based on the specific solution and Challenge requirements. Experts will test/review the materials to confirm that finalist solutions are viable and that the claims made by the finalists are accurate.
- Final Round
Evaluators will conduct a final review considering the totality of submitted material and validation results to select a winner. The winner will be notified by October 2026.
VI. INCENTIVES
-
Incentives are awarded to the winner(s) (“Awarded Participants”) subject to: (a) compliance with these Rules and any verification requirements notified by the Organiser; and (b) continued eligibility under Sections II and III at the time of payment or delivery. The Joint Organisers may decline to award, or withdraw, any Incentive where an Awarded Participant fails to satisfy these conditions, and may select a replacement winner.
-
Subject to these Rules, Incentives may include:
-
- A total of US$50,000 directly awarded to a Participant with the winning solution.
- Partnership Opportunities.
-
Before any Incentive is paid, the Awarded Participant must provide: (a) valid identification; (b) bank account details in their name; (c) any tax or residency documents reasonably requested; and (d) any other compliance documents notified by the Organiser. Payment will be made after all required documents are received and verified. The Organiser is not responsible for delays caused by the Awarded Participant’s failure to provide information promptly. If an Awarded Participant cannot be contacted for more than 60 days after the first attempt, or is unable or unwilling to accept the Incentive, their entitlement lapses and no Incentive or compensation is payable.
-
Incentives are subject to availability, provided ‘as is’ without warranty, and are non-transferable. Lost or stolen Incentives will not be replaced. Where Incentives are funded by third-party sponsors, they are contingent on those sponsors fulfilling their commitments. The Joint Organisers do not guarantee Incentive provision and accept no liability for non-provision, except where caused by their gross negligence or wilful default.
-
Each Awarded Participant is responsible for any taxes, duties, or charges arising from receiving an Incentive. The Joint Organisers may withhold or deduct applicable taxes where required by law. If any Incentive becomes unavailable, the Joint Organisers may substitute an Incentive of similar value at their discretion.
-
Disqualified Participants are removed immediately, are not entitled to any Incentives, and must repay any Incentive already awarded within 30 days of written demand.
VII. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (“IP”)
-
By registering and submitting a Project Proposal, each Participant affirms that:
- the Project Proposal is their original work (or that of their team or company);
- they have the necessary rights to submit the Project Proposal; and
- the submission does not violate any law, regulation, or third-party rights.
-
The Organiser may disqualify any Participant if it reasonably believes the Project Proposal infringes third-party rights.
-
Participants indemnify and hold harmless the Joint Organisers and their officers against any claims or costs arising from a breach of this Section VII.
-
Each Participant warrants that it has the right to use, and to grant the licences in these Rules in respect of, any third-party IPR incorporated into its Project Proposal or Deliverables. Each Participant indemnifies and holds harmless the Joint Organisers, their affiliates (being entities that directly or indirectly control, are controlled by, or are under common control with them, where “control” means ownership of more than 50% of voting rights), and their officers, employees, and agents against any claims, costs, losses, or liabilities arising from infringement or alleged infringement of third-party IPR in connection with the Participant’s submission or the exercise by any Licence Holder of rights granted under these Rules.
-
Participants retain full ownership of: (a) their Background IP; and (b) their Challenge IP.
-
Joint Organiser Background IP. Where either or both of the Joint Organisers makes available Joint Organiser Background IP for use in the Challenge, each Participant is granted a non-exclusive, fully paid-up licence to use such Joint Organiser Background IP solely for participating in the Challenge and developing their Project Proposal. This licence terminates upon the Participant’s elimination from the Challenge or, for winners, upon completion of the Challenge, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Winners may enter negotiations for a separate licence to exploit Joint Organiser Background IP in connection with their Challenge IP, with scope and fees to be agreed on a case-by-case basis.
-
Participation Licence. Each Participant grants to the Licence Holders a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to access, review, reproduce, display, evaluate, and use the Project Proposal, Deliverables, and related materials for: (a) administering, operating, and conducting the Challenge; (b) evaluating, judging, and verifying submissions; (c) announcing results and winners; (d) internal review and discussion regarding potential collaboration; and (e) reasonable promotional activities relating to the Challenge. This licence does not permit the Licence Holders to commercialise or exploit the Challenge IP without the Participant’s written consent, except as provided in clause 34 (Winner Licence).
-
The licence granted under clause 32 (Participation Licence) is non-sublicensable, except that Licence Holders may share materials with their group companies, professional advisers, and third-party evaluators engaged for Challenge purposes, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
-
Winner Licence. By accepting any Incentive, the Participant grants to the Licence Holders a fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, distribute, sub-license, and otherwise exploit the Challenge IP for any purpose (the “Winner Licence”). The Winner Licence takes effect upon acceptance of the Incentive.
-
For clarity, the Winner Licence does not transfer ownership of the Challenge IP to the Licence Holders. The winning Participant retains full ownership and may use, license, or exploit the Challenge IP as they see fit, subject only to the Winner Licence.
-
Each winning Participant agrees, at the reasonable request of the Organiser or Challenge Partner, to execute documents and take actions reasonably necessary to give effect to the licences granted under these Rules, including assisting with registration or recordal of such licences.
-
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each winning Participant waives any moral rights in the Challenge IP, including the right to be identified as author, the right of integrity, and the right against false attribution. Where moral rights cannot be waived or are inalienable under applicable law, each winning Participant agrees not to assert such rights against the Licence Holders or their sub-licensees in connection with the exercise of rights granted under the Winner Licence.
-
The Organiser or Challenge Partner may invite winning Participants to discuss potential collaboration, piloting, or further commercialisation beyond the Winner Licence. Any such arrangements will be subject to separate negotiation on mutually acceptable commercial terms.
-
Open Source Disclosure. Each Participant must disclose at the time of submission whether any part of its Project Proposal or Deliverables incorporates, is based upon, or is intended to be released under any open-source licence. Where open-source components are used, the Participant must identify the relevant components and applicable licence(s). Failure to make accurate disclosure may result in disqualification or withdrawal of any Incentive awarded.
-
Data Rights. Each Participant grants to the Joint Organisers a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide licence to collect, store, process, and use all non-personal data contained in or generated from submissions (excluding Personal Data governed by clause 11 and IPR governed by clauses 32 to 34) for: (a) registering solutions and outcomes in the Organiser’s databases; (b) generating anonymised and aggregated analyses and reports; (c) improving future innovation programmes; and (d) training artificial intelligence and machine learning tools used in connection with the Joint Organisers’ activities.
VIII. CONFIDENTIALITY
-
Each Participant agrees to keep confidential all non-public information disclosed by the Joint Organisers or other Participants in the context of the Challenge, including technical, commercial, and strategic information relating to other Participants' Project Proposals reviewed in any evaluation or judging capacity. This obligation continues for 2 years after the Challenge ends. Shortlisted and Finalist Participants may be required to sign a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement before accessing third-party materials for validation. This confidentiality obligation does not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than through breach of this clause; (b) was already known to the Participant before disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the Participant without use of confidential information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or court order, provided the Participant gives the Joint Organisers prior written notice where legally permitted.
-
Participants acknowledge that submission materials may be reviewed by multiple evaluators, advisers, and Challenge stakeholders. Participants should not include information in submissions that they are unwilling to share for evaluation purposes. However, Participants may mark genuinely confidential or proprietary information as “Confidential” and the Organiser will use reasonable endeavours to limit disclosure of such marked information to those with a need to know.
-
The Joint Organisers may request that Awarded Participants enter into a more detailed confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement for the purpose of exploring potential collaboration or further development. Such agreement will be negotiated in good faith on reasonable commercial terms.
-
Participants acknowledge that the Organiser and Challenge Partner may currently or in future be developing information internally, or receiving information from others, that is similar to information in any Project Proposal. Nothing in these Rules prevents the Organiser and Challenge Partner from independently developing products, concepts, systems, services, or techniques similar to those in any Project Proposal, provided such development does not use the Participant’s confidential information in breach of clause 41.
-
Participants recognise that other participants, individuals, or entities may have submitted or made public content that is the same or similar to information in any Project Proposal. The Organiser may use such same or similar materials submitted by others, and Participants are not entitled to compensation arising from the Organiser’s use of materials independently submitted by third parties.
-
A Participant may refer publicly to its participation, shortlisting, finalist status, or success in the Challenge, provided statements are accurate, not misleading, and do not imply endorsement by or affiliation with the Joint Organisers beyond Challenge participation. Participants must not publish any statement relating to the Challenge that is defamatory, disparaging, unlawful, or in breach of any confidentiality obligation, and must not use the names, logos, trade marks, or other brand elements of the Joint Organisers except as expressly permitted in Challenge materials or with prior written consent.
IX. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
-
The Joint Organisers will take reasonable steps to keep Participants safe. Each Participant accepts that participation in the Challenge is at their own risk. Each Participant indemnifies and holds harmless the Joint Organisers, their related companies, and their respective officers, employees, contractors, and agents against any claims, costs (including reasonable legal fees), losses, or liabilities arising from: (a) the Participant’s breach of these Rules; (b) the Participant’s negligence or wilful misconduct; or (c) any infringement or misappropriation of third-party IPR in the Participant’s submission. This indemnity does not extend to losses caused by the Joint Organisers’ own negligence or wilful misconduct. The Joint Organisers will have sole conduct of any claims subject to this indemnity and Participants will provide reasonable assistance as requested.
-
Each Participant is responsible for taking appropriate safety measures throughout the Challenge, including obtaining appropriate insurance coverage where relevant for their activities. This may include coverage for designing and developing prototypes and conducting visits to the Organiser’s or Challenge Partner’s premises. Insurance should be maintained post-Challenge, as required to cover liabilities under the Challenge.
-
No party is liable for any failure or delay in performing obligations under these Rules where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including (without limitation) acts of God, pandemic, governmental action, war, terrorism, civil unrest, failure of telecommunications or power supply, or other force majeure events. In such circumstances, the Joint Organisers may suspend, postpone, or cancel the Challenge without liability to Participants.
-
The aggregate liability of the Joint Organisers to any Participant under or in connection with these Rules (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) shall not exceed AED 5,000. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.
X. GENERAL PROVISIONS
-
These Rules should be read together with the Platform T&Cs. In the event of any conflict between these Rules and the Platform T&Cs on any matter relating to the Challenge, these Rules prevail. For all matters relating to platform access, account obligations, general conduct, and data privacy, the Platform T&Cs apply.

-
The Joint Organisers reserve the right to amend the Rules at their discretion. In the case of material amendments, the Joint Organisers will use reasonable endeavours to provide prior notice to Participants. The continued participation of a Participant in the Challenge following notification of any amendment will be deemed to indicate their acceptance of the changes.
-
Unless expressly provided otherwise, only the parties to these Rules (and the Challenge Partner) have any right to enforce them. No third party has any right to enforce any term of these Rules.
-
These Rules shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the applicable federal laws of the United Arab Emirates.
