Following the extraordinary success of Dubai AI Week 2025, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed underlined Dubai’s ambitious vision: to increase the scope of the event by 2026 and so strengthen Dubai’s position as a global AI centre.
During the closing ceremony, it was emphasised by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan that “the individuals most ready for the future are the ones laying the groundwork today.” He offered fresh recommendations for incorporating AI into educational institutions, research facilities, and innovation hubs in an effort to create billion-dollar businesses and attract substantial foreign investment. He has also launched the Dubai AI Academy, a new initiative to mainstream artificial intelligence education and advance its adoption across key economic sectors.
Dubai AI Week highlighted that artificial intelligence is not merely a future tool; it is the driving force behind Dubai’s upcoming phase of growth, transforming areas such as healthcare, education, gaming, and urban planning.
Preparations are already in progress to broaden Dubai AI Week 2026 to 20 events, inviting a greater number of the globe’s top AI innovators to influence a groundbreaking future from the center of Dubai.
