Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy Signs Two Agentic AI Agreements

Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy has signed two memorandums of understanding to widen the use of agentic AI across the emirate's private sector. Both cover training and access to technology. Both were signed in the presence of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The chamber is one of three operating under Dubai Chambers, which will oversee how the two programmes are carried out.

Nebius Academy and the leadership track

The first MoU is with Nebius Academy, the training business attached to AI cloud provider Nebius. Its content will be delivered through Dubai Chambers Academy and is built around AI leadership and agentic AI.

The agreement covers course material, certifications, technical workshops, sessions led by experts and learning resources. It is aimed at three groups inside member companies: executives, technical teams and general employees.

Lovable and the championship credits

The second MoU is with Lovable, a software creation platform. Lovable will support training for Dubai-based companies and founders by providing access to its platform alongside educational resources, events and workshops.

Participants in the Create AI Agents Championship will also get credits to build on Lovable's platform, funded by Dubai Chambers. Those credits are meant for developing and deploying agentic AI solutions rather than for coursework alone.

The two deals address a practical gap. A government programme can set a direction; it cannot install a workflow inside a small trading firm or a software studio. Paying for training seats and platform credits puts the tools directly in front of staff and founders, which is a different lever from a policy target. The UAE has separately launched a US$1 million global prize for agentic AI that makes cities more livable, an effort pitched at civic outcomes rather than company-level capability.

All of this sits under an initiative launched by H.H. 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 initiative is intended to move the private sector toward agentic AI.

Tracks for 14,000 companies

Dubai Chambers has already introduced specialised training tracks for the 14,000 member companies of Dubai Chamber of Commerce's business groups and councils, with the goal of getting agentic AI into their operations. Those tracks give the new agreements a ready base of companies to draw from, and they set the measure by which the training will be judged: whether member firms end up running AI agents in their day-to-day work, not simply whether the courses fill up.
