Its tally says more than 90,000 digital platforms were developed, with participation from over 65 public, private and academic organisations. The programme launched on 29 October as part of UAE Codes.

The initiative helps turn ideas into apps or websites using AI. The figures come from the organiser; they do not by themselves measure the creations’ quality or sustained use.
