14,000 Companies to Receive Agentic AI Training
The Agentic AI transformation program for Dubai’s private sector, overseen by Dubai Chambers, includes a range of specialized initiatives designed to prepare businesses to adopt these technologies and apply them within their operations.
As part of the program, Dubai Chambers recently launched specialized training tracks aimed at equipping 14,000 companies belonging to the Business Groups and Business Councils operating under Dubai Chamber of Commerce with the skills needed to use Agentic AI.
The training focuses on helping participating companies integrate these technologies into their administrative and operational activities, while developing the knowledge and institutional capabilities required for effective implementation.
The initiative is intended to expand the number of businesses benefiting from advanced AI applications and strengthen their ability to use these solutions in ways that support their activities.
The wider program also includes establishing incubators for Agentic AI companies that contribute to Dubai’s transformation, as well as supporting the development of businesses specializing in creating and deploying Agentic AI solutions.
Another important part of the initiative involves sharing knowledge and building institutional capabilities within the Dubai Chambers ecosystem.
Together, these efforts are designed to help businesses develop the expertise needed to adopt Agentic AI and make practical use of its capabilities across different areas of their operations.
