His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, has unveiled a two-year plan to equip Dubai's private sector with agentic AI.
"Our objective is to empower our companies to adopt these technologies that will boost productivity, expand business volumes, and reshape the city — making its economy the best in the world in adopting Agentic AI technologies," Sheikh Hamdan said in a post on social media platform X.
It follows the directive of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai "to reshape Dubai into the world’s most future-ready city", he added.
Under the programme, the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry will establish incubators for Agentic AI companies to "support this transformation, create new economic opportunities for young people in this field, and set up dedicated funds to back this new shift".
It will also offer "specialised training for all business councils affiliated with the Chamber".
Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum , we are launching today a new initiative to transform towards Agentic AI (self-executing and self-leading artificial intelligence) in Dubai’s private sector.
