A new chapter of the same story

Madinah
1 AH

Visionary believers gathered in Madinah. Mercy, guidance, and justice spread from east to west.

Baghdad
215 AH

Scholars gathered in Baghdad. The foundations of mathematics, astronomy, and medicine were laid.

Córdoba
316 AH

Scientists gathered in Córdoba. Europe's royalty travelled to study at its universities.

Sarajevo
1448 AH

Muslim builders, visionaries and believers are gathering in Sarajevo.

With the same pattern of practices that made those gatherings great...

Paired conversation, poolside

Paired Together

The Prophet ﷺ established bonds of brotherhood between the Muhājirūn and the Anṣār. Inspired by this practice, every participant will be paired with a travel companion. Before you even arrive, our AI matching will consider your goals, interests, and experience to connect you with someone you’ll journey alongside.

Morning gathering in prayer

Worship Together

Each day will begin with the Qur’an and end with Qiyām. For 30 minutes each morning and evening, we’ll step away from the noise, renew our intentions, and return to what matters. Because what we build matters — but so does who we become while building it.

Small circle conversation

Learn Together

Great gatherings have always been built on small circles. Before the summit, you’ll be placed into an AI-matched halaqah of five participants. This is where you’ll reflect on your goals, share lessons and insights, and hold one another accountable. As a group, you’ll also spend an hour with one of our mentors in a dedicated majlis for conversation, advice, and practical guidance.

Conference attendees at a shared meal

Eat Together

This is where connections and conversations turn into long term meaningful relationships. Following the Prophetic Sunnah of eating together, join us for a warm evening of good food and even better company, with dinner graciously hosted by our Bosnian friends.

Guided walk through Sarajevo

Journey Together

The Prophet ﷺ spent nearly a quarter of his mission travelling with his companions. Some of the most profound lessons in the Seerah weren’t learnt in formal settings, but on the road.

Following his footsteps, we’ll close the summit with a guided tour through Sarajevo. Together, we’ll visit the Tunnel of Hope, walk the historic streets of Baščaršija, and reflect on Bosnia’s story of faith, resilience, and civilisation.

Rather than simply looking back, we’ll ask what this history means for the challenges ahead. What can Bosnia teach us about technology, power, sovereignty, and resilience? What lessons should shape the future of the Muslim technology ecosystem in the age of AI?

The MTF Summit: Think and Build Together

The future will be shaped by the people willing to ask difficult questions, imagine what doesn’t exist yet, and then do the hard work of building it. Following the Prophetic ﷺ practice of shura, the MTF Summit is designed not simply for you to listen, but to participate, contribute, challenge, and build over two tracks:

The Theory
Visionaries Track: Where could AI take us?
Imagine the future of AI and identify where Muslims are uniquely positioned to make the greatest impact.
The Application
Builders Track: What should we build?
Ideas, capital and technical capability together in one room to turn possibilities into products and policy.

Note: The Builders track is a global series, with each edition exploring a different frontier — from manufacturing and physical AI in Istanbul to energy and power in Qatar. The selection for the build focus will be a startegic assessment of the country the summit is hosted in and opportunities available.

The Bosnia builders track edition will focus on Healthcare and attempt to answer the question: What would it take for Muslims to lead again? From policy to products, we’ll explore how to build healthcare that serves people with genuine care. The visionaries track will ask a different set of questions across fields.

Who's in the room?

The best gatherings have a certain rhythm: the right people, the right questions, and enough space and time for unexpected ideas to collide. That’s the formula we're bringing to Bosnia. People defined less by their titles and more by what they build, how they think, and what they believe is possible.

FAQ

The full experience runs Wednesday 14th to Sunday 18th October 2026 in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The exact days you're there depend on your package — see the individual package details above for day-by-day itineraries. The main MTF Summit day itself is Friday 16th October.

Why Sarajevo?

Because some places teach you things a conference room never could. Bosnia knows what it means to rebuild. To preserve identity under pressure, create with limited resources, and think seriously about sovereignty. Sarajevo is more than a backdrop; it’s part of our conversation, and a gateway into a region with some of the world’s most overlooked Muslim talent. Through our partnerships with local organisations, technologists, scholars, and builders across the Balkans, you’ll meet people you might never otherwise encounter:
