Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, one of the three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, has released ‘The Entrepreneur’s AI Playbook,’ aimed at raising awareness among entrepreneurs on AI tools and applications that are essential to set up, manage and scale their businesses.
The AI playbook comes as part of the ‘Create Apps in Dubai’ initiative launched by His Highness 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.
‘Create Apps in Dubai’ is designed to train and nurture the skills of 1,000 UAE nationals. The initiative seeks to fuel the region’s digital growth by tripling the number of app developers and supporting the launch of 100 new homegrown mobile application projects.
Additionally, it includes the ‘Create Apps Championship,’ which aims to elevate Dubai’s leadership in smart application development, attract global talent, and encourage entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas for innovative mobile apps.
The AI Playbook provides entrepreneurs with practical guidance on leveraging AI tools at every stage of developing entrepreneurial ventures and startups. This includes the setup phase, covering naming and brand identity, followed by developing value propositions, business models and digital products and services. The guide also covers the operational phase, including customer acquisition, fulfillment, billing and customer support.
This move highlights Dubai’s commitment to developing a world-class AI ecosystem, which is reflected in several strategic initiatives and events such as the AI Retreat, the Dubai Universal Blueprint for AI, the appointment of Chief AI Officers across government entities, and AI Week in Dubai schools, together with programs designed to empower entrepreneurs to leverage cutting-edge AI technologies across diverse sectors.
