The gap that costs the Gulf billions
Every conference, government program, and corporate training initiative in the GCC starts with the same question: who are the right AI experts? There is no platform, no marketplace, and no trusted directory. Organizers rely on word of mouth. Experts have no visibility. Budgets are wasted on mismatched speakers.
The platform we built to close it
Minbar.ai is the Gulf’s first curated AI experts marketplace. We connect organizers, governments, and enterprises with AI experts who know the Gulf — vetted, culturally briefed, and ready to deliver in 48 hours. Every profile includes topic depth, Gulf experience, pricing, and availability.
Why this window closes in 18 months
Saudi Arabia alone will host 200+ AI conferences in 2026. UAE’s national AI strategy requires thousands of training hours. Every GCC country has a Vision plan that includes AI capacity building. The market is forming now — and there is no incumbent.
