AI Everything Supernova Awards $60K to Top AI Startups

The Ai Everything Global Supernova Challenge, the world’s premier AI startup pitch competition, concluded in Dubai with 30 AI startups from 15 countries competing for a $60,000 prize pool. Showcasing groundbreaking AI-powered solutions in robotics, fintech, e-commerce, and healthcare, the competition attracted top-tier global investor judges and an audience of experts and industry leaders. With over 150 influential investors representing $50 billion in assets under management (AUM) from 20 countries, the event provided a high-stakes platform for startups to scale their businesses and secure funding.

Pulsar.ml, a Canada-based AI startup, emerged as the winner, securing the coveted $30,000 prize. Founded by Mohamed Sabri, Pulsar.ml impressed judges with its AI governance solution designed to help organizations manage analytical assets, ensure compliance, and optimize machine learning models. Highlighting the growing need for AI governance, Sabri pointed out that 60% of organizations do not track AI governance, exposing them to compliance risks. He emphasized that Pulsar.ml offers a comprehensive solution that enhances AI transparency, resource optimization, and regulatory compliance. Already generating revenues in Canada and the U.S., Pulsar.ml aims to expand into the Middle East, leveraging the prize money as a strategic step toward regional growth.

The Supernova Challenge also awarded AdSpective from Poland a $20,000 runner-up prize for its AI-powered dynamic virtual product placement platform, while Germany-based Cre[ai]tion secured third place and a $10,000 prize for its work in training custom AI models. As a key event at GITEX GLOBAL and Expand North Star, the Supernova Challenge continues to provide AI startups with a global platform to showcase innovations, attract investors, and drive technological advancements. With AI projected to contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, the UAE is rapidly emerging as a leader in AI adoption, with AI expected to account for 14% of the country’s GDP within five years. Ai Everything Global is reinforcing the UAE’s vision to become a global AI hub, fostering the next wave of AI-driven entrepreneurship and innovation.
