Keeta Drone to Debut M-Drone 4L at Dubai Future Week; Meta, Uber Among Eight Partners

Keeta will demonstrate autonomous drone delivery, which it says allows fast drop-offs with minimal human contact. Junwei Yang, general manager of Keeta Drone, said the M-Drone 4L was designed for life in Dubai. It can deliver orders straight to homes and opens up delivery to parks, beaches and other outdoor spaces, he said.

Yang said the company hopes to make drone delivery a more efficient and sustainable part of daily life in the emirate through close cooperation with government bodies and community partners in Dubai. The event would let the public try the technology up close, he added.

Uber is using the event to promote autonomous driving. Mohammed Jardaneh, head of autonomous mobility at Uber Middle East, said self-driving vehicles are already on Dubai's roads and that the company is proud to contribute to the city's goal of making 25% of all trips autonomous by 2030. Uber is expanding its electric, shared and self-driving options, he said.

The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy will run specialist workshops and interactive demonstrations, led by Chamber AI Hub, which it describes as the first digital platform for AI assistants at any chamber of commerce in the world. Saeed Al Gergawi, the chamber's vice-chairman, said the programme would also feature its strategic partnership with design software company Canva. He linked the work to the targets of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.

Meta will show its latest wearable devices and AI technology and take part in discussions on the responsible development of emerging technologies. Basma Ammari, Meta's director of public policy for the Middle East and North Africa, said the UAE had built an integrated ecosystem that combines ambition, talent and technology infrastructure, and that the event was a chance to explore the future of AI.

Himanshu Shrivastava, chief technology and data officer at Al-Futtaim Group, said the group's businesses in mobility, retail, real estate and other sectors give it a deeper understanding of what people need. The company is using AI, data and digital tools to link services across its divisions, he said.

Roman Axelrod, founder of XPANCEO, said his company is trying to reimagine the relationship between people and the digital world and rebuild it for the 21st century. He said the event brings scientists, policymakers and creators together in one place. Dubai Media Incorporated is the eighth partner.

Dubai Future Week 2026 is held under the theme "For the Future Human" and will host more than 75 events and experiences across eight main platforms.
