Dubai to Train More Than 14,000 Companies to Use Agentic AI

Dubai Accelerates Private-Sector Adoption of Agentic AI

Agentic AI is set to play a growing role in Dubai’s private sector as Dubai Chambers prepares more than 14,000 companies to adopt the technology across their operations.

Dubai Chambers has launched dedicated Agentic AI training tracks for member companies of the Business Groups and Business Councils operating under Dubai Chamber of Commerce. The programme is designed to give businesses practical knowledge of how advanced AI tools can be used to improve operational efficiency, productivity and decision-making.

The initiative forms part of Dubai’s broader programme to transition the private sector towards Agentic AI under the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai.

The training will be delivered through Dubai Chambers Academy, a new integrated e-learning platform created to provide specialised learning opportunities for the private sector.

Dubai Companies to Receive Practical Agentic AI Training

The new training tracks are designed around practical business applications rather than theoretical AI concepts.

Participating companies will be introduced to the latest Agentic AI tools and solutions and learn how these technologies can be incorporated into day-to-day business activities.

The programme will cover potential applications across areas including business operations, productivity, efficiency and decision-making. Businesses will also receive practical guidance on identifying suitable use cases within their own organisations.

The objective is to help companies understand where Agentic AI can deliver meaningful value and develop the internal capabilities needed to implement the technology effectively.

Agentic AI differs from conventional AI applications by being designed to perform tasks with greater levels of autonomy. Instead of simply generating information in response to a request, agentic systems can be designed to manage multi-step processes, coordinate tasks and support business workflows.

For companies, this could create opportunities to automate complex activities while allowing employees to focus on higher-value responsibilities.

Dubai Chambers Academy Supports the Private Sector

The training programme will be hosted through Dubai Chambers Academy, which has been established as an integrated e-learning platform for the business community.

The Academy will offer specialised Agentic AI training alongside a broader range of programmes aimed at strengthening capabilities within Dubai’s private sector.

The platform was launched in the presence of Eng. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, and 90 chairpersons representing Business Groups and Business Councils.

Al Mansoori said the programme reflects Dubai’s commitment to preparing the business community for the wider adoption of advanced technologies.

He said the transition towards Agentic AI would help companies use advanced technologies effectively while creating sustainable value, strengthening competitiveness and supporting innovation and growth.

How Agentic AI Could Transform Dubai Businesses

A central objective of the initiative is to help companies move from understanding Agentic AI to applying it in real business environments.

The specialised training will allow participants to explore the latest tools and solutions while assessing how they can be applied to their individual operations.

Businesses will be encouraged to identify areas where Agentic AI could improve workflows, manage complex tasks and support decision-making.

The technology could potentially assist companies in handling processes that involve multiple stages, coordinating information and completing tasks with limited human intervention.

For Dubai’s private sector, the focus is therefore not simply on adopting AI technology but on developing the expertise required to use it effectively.

Al Mansoori said Agentic AI is creating new possibilities for how companies operate, including managing complex tasks, supporting more effective decisions, enhancing productivity and creating new opportunities for growth.

He added that the specialised training tracks are intended to equip businesses with the capabilities and expertise needed to understand Agentic AI and convert its potential into practical applications.

More Than 14,000 Companies Targeted

More than 14,000 companies are being offered access to the specialised training programme, making the initiative one of the broader efforts to build Agentic AI capabilities across Dubai’s private sector.

The scale of the programme reflects the emirate’s intention to ensure that AI adoption extends beyond technology companies and reaches businesses across different parts of the economy.

By providing companies with access to training, Dubai Chambers aims to help organisations assess how Agentic AI can be incorporated into their existing operations and identify opportunities to improve performance.

The programme is also intended to strengthen the ability of businesses to innovate and remain competitive as AI becomes increasingly integrated into the global economy.

Wider Agentic AI Programme in Dubai

The training initiative is part of a larger programme focused on transitioning Dubai’s private sector towards Agentic AI.

Beyond training existing businesses, the programme includes plans to establish incubators for Agentic AI companies. These incubators will support businesses involved in developing and deploying Agentic AI solutions and contribute to Dubai’s wider technology ecosystem.

The programme will also promote knowledge-sharing and capacity-building within Dubai Chambers.

These measures are designed to create an environment in which companies can not only adopt existing AI technologies but also participate in the development of new Agentic AI solutions.

The broader strategy aims to strengthen private-sector competitiveness while reinforcing Dubai’s position as a hub for future technologies, the digital economy and emerging industries.

Executive Committee for Agentic AI

Dubai Chambers has also established an Executive Committee for Agentic AI as part of the wider push.

The committee has been created to accelerate the adoption of Agentic AI across Dubai’s private sector and help businesses prepare for global technological changes.

Its responsibilities include enabling companies to benefit from advanced AI solutions and supporting Dubai’s ambitions to become a global hub for the digital economy and future industries.

The committee is expected to contribute to the development of capabilities within the business community while supporting collaboration and knowledge-sharing around Agentic AI.

Preparing Businesses for the Next Phase of AI

The expansion of Agentic AI training signals a shift in Dubai’s approach to artificial intelligence, with greater emphasis being placed on practical business adoption.

For companies, understanding how to use AI effectively is increasingly becoming an important part of maintaining productivity and competitiveness. The Dubai Chambers programme is intended to provide businesses with the knowledge needed to evaluate the technology and identify relevant applications.

The emphasis on practical implementation also reflects the growing importance of moving beyond experimentation with AI. Businesses are increasingly looking at how AI can be integrated into core processes and contribute measurable value.

Through Dubai Chambers Academy, more than 14,000 companies will have access to specialised learning opportunities focused on these applications.

At the same time, the establishment of incubators and the Executive Committee for Agentic AI adds a wider ecosystem component to the initiative, supporting both companies adopting the technology and businesses developing Agentic AI solutions.

Dubai’s AI Ambitions

Dubai has positioned advanced technology and digital transformation as important components of its economic development strategy. The latest Agentic AI initiative extends that approach into the private sector by focusing on workforce capabilities, business adoption and the development of new technology companies.

The programme is ultimately intended to help businesses understand how Agentic AI can be translated into practical solutions that support efficiency, innovation and growth.

With more than 14,000 companies targeted for training, Dubai Chambers is placing the private sector at the centre of the emirate’s next stage of AI adoption.

The combination of specialised training, business support, incubators, knowledge-sharing and the Executive Committee for Agentic AI is designed to build a stronger ecosystem around the technology.

As Agentic AI continues to evolve, Dubai’s latest initiative aims to ensure that its business community is equipped to adopt the technology, adapt to changing global trends and identify new opportunities created by increasingly autonomous AI systems.
