The Tech Diplomacy Global Institute has signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai to launch the Global 5X AI Impact Accelerator Program, signalling a shift from policy dialogue to execution in responsible artificial intelligence implementation.

The agreement was signed by H.E. Dr. Huda Al Hashimi, Deputy Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Strategic Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Ayumi Moore Aoki, Founder and President of the Tech Diplomacy Global Institute, and Dr. Rachel Adams, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Global Center on AI Governance. The MoU establishes a long-term partnership focused on delivering practical, cross-border AI initiatives.

Under the partnership, the UAE Government, the Tech Diplomacy Global Institute, and the Global Center on AI Governance will collaborate to accelerate multi-stakeholder AI projects designed to deliver measurable public value. The initiative places emphasis on trust, accountability, and outcomes-driven implementation across sectors including sustainability, health, education, social development, and livability.

The Global 5X AI Impact Accelerator is anchored in the UAE Government Accelerators’ 100-day delivery methodology, which is aimed at converting responsible AI commitments into real-world solutions while strengthening institutional capacity and AI governance ecosystems at national and global levels.

The Institute acknowledged the contributions of Dr. Radheya AlHashmi and Sarah Dagher Al Feghali in supporting the establishment of the partnership, which marks a significant step in advancing execution-focused international cooperation on responsible AI.
