The Dubai Agentic AI training programme now reaches more than 14,000 private sector companies, giving them the practical skills to put AI agents to work inside daily operations. Dubai Chambers launched the courses on 1 September. The aim is simple. Help firms move from curiosity to real use.
Agentic AI is software that acts on its own. It does not wait for a prompt and then reply. It carries out tasks, checks results, and adjusts. Think of it less like a search box and more like a junior employee who handles a job end to end. That shift is why the training matters now, not someday.
What the programme covers
Companies enrolled in the Dubai Agentic AI training programme get hands-on guidance for their own work. They learn which tools fit which tasks. They see where AI agents can support operations, and where they might slow things down. The tracks focus on efficiency, productivity, and decision-making, the parts of a business that eat the most time.
Participants also map out where the technology could help them grow. A logistics firm might automate route planning. A retailer might let an agent watch stock levels and reorder. The courses walk through these choices so companies pick the right starting point instead of guessing.
Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, said Agentic AI is opening new ways for companies to work. He said it can manage complex tasks, improve decision-making, and create room for growth. The training, he added, aims to give firms the expertise to turn that potential into practical use.

A wider push across Dubai
The training sits inside a bigger plan. Dubai wants its whole private sector to adopt Agentic AI, a programme set under the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. He announced the two-year effort in May, with a clear target. Dubai should become the world’s leading city for commercial AI agent use by 2028.
The plan goes beyond training. It includes support for companies building and deploying Agentic AI solutions. It sets up incubators for new AI firms. And it adds knowledge-sharing work so lessons spread across sectors rather than staying locked in one office.
Dubai Chambers has also formed an Executive Committee for Agentic AI to speed up adoption. The committee’s job is to prepare businesses for fast technology change and keep the private sector ready for what comes next.
Why it lands now
AI adoption in Dubai has moved quickly, and this step aims to widen the base. The Dubai Agentic AI training programme starts with the organised end of the private sector: the member companies of Business Groups and Business Councils. It starts with a login, not a rule. Companies choose to join.
That choice is the point. The tools exist today. The gap is knowing how to use them well. Close that gap across 14,000 firms, and the future of work in Dubai stops being a forecast and starts being a habit.
