AI Seal Readiness Sprint

Dubai AI Seal — eligibility, dossier, evidence pack, submission, remediation.

FromAED 35K–75K

Duration3–6 weeks

Payment60% on signature / 40% on submission.

What this is

A 3–6 week sprint that prepares a UAE business for the Dubai AI Seal (mandatory for any company in Dubai government projects). We run eligibility, build the evidence dossier, remediate gaps, and submit — keyed to the tier (Emerging → Scaling → Established → Sustainable) the buyer is pursuing.

Why now

Dubai Future Foundation and the Dubai Department of Finance are pushing government entities to restrict AI contracts to AI-Seal-certified suppliers. The Seal is now a hard gate for government work and a private-sector trust signal that did not exist 12 months ago.

FAQ

Is the Dubai AI Seal mandatory?▾

For Dubai government projects and many quasi-government entities, yes. For private-sector buyers it is a credibility signal — but one that is rapidly becoming a procurement expectation.

What tiers does the Seal have?▾

Four: Emerging (E), Scaling (S), Established (E2), Sustainable (S2). We will only target the tier you can credibly defend — the sprint includes a tier-fit assessment in Week 1.

How long until we get certified?▾

Our scope ends at submission + reviewer Q&A. The Dubai Future Foundation timeline for the certification decision is outside our control; expect 4–10 weeks post-submission depending on tier and queue.
