Abu Dhabi’s AI Boom: Transforming Innovation and business
Abu Dhabi is undeniably making waves in the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape. Over the past year, there’s been a remarkable surge in the number of AI companies, with a 61% increase that now totals 673 firms in the emirate. This rapid growth positions Abu Dhabi as a leading center for AI innovation not just in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) but on a global scale.
What’s driving this boom? A mix of strategic investments, robust infrastructure, and a forward-thinking approach by local institutions like the Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technology Council (AIATC). This council plays a crucial role in shaping the future of AI through research, policy development, and fostering an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive.
Interestingly, over 58% of Abu Dhabi’s AI firms focus on innovation and consultancy. This showcases not just the quantity but the quality of initiatives underway, reflecting a sophisticated ecosystem rich in research and collaboration. As Shamis Ali Khalfan Al Dhaheri, Second Vice Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce, notes, it’s a melting pot of entrepreneurs and scientists who see Abu Dhabi as a key player in the tech arena.
In just six months, 150 new AI companies have emerged, indicating a bustling landscape filled with opportunities. The Abu Dhabi Chamber’s strategic roadmap for 2025-2028 emphasizes easing business operations and enhancing policy advocacy, making the emirate an attractive hub for businesses eager to explore AI-driven solutions.
