Dubai Chambers has launched specialised training tracks to equip more than 14,000 member companies of the Business Groups and Business Councils operating under Dubai Chamber of Commerce with skills to adopt Agentic AI across their operations. The initiative is part of the programme to transition Dubai’s private sector towards Agentic AI, launched under the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai.

The training will be delivered through Dubai Chambers Academy, a new integrated e-learning platform offering specialised Agentic AI tracks for the private sector as well as other programmes. The Academy was launched in the presence of Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, and 90 chairpersons of Business Groups and Business Councils.

Al Mansoori said the programme reflects Dubai’s commitment to preparing the business community to adopt advanced technologies and use them to create sustainable value. He said Agentic AI can help companies manage complex tasks, improve decision-making, enhance productivity and create new growth opportunities, while the wider programme also includes incubators for Agentic AI companies and support for businesses developing and deploying Agentic AI solutions.
