DUBAI: The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy has launched a new resource titled The Entrepreneur’s AI Playbook, offering a detailed roadmap for leveraging artificial intelligence at every stage of building a business. The guide is part of the wider Create Apps in Dubai initiative, led by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and aims to empower UAE-based entrepreneurs with digital tools that foster innovation and growth.
The AI Playbook provides step-by-step guidance for integrating AI across the startup lifecycle—from concept to operations. Entrepreneurs can explore tools that help shape brand identity, define value propositions, develop digital offerings, and streamline customer engagement and support. By simplifying the adoption of AI technologies, the playbook seeks to accelerate the journey from idea to execution.
This initiative is a cornerstone of Dubai’s vision to become a global leader in digital transformation. Create Apps in Dubai has ambitious goals, including training 1,000 UAE nationals, tripling the number of developers in the city, and launching 100 homegrown mobile apps. The programme also features the Create Apps Championship to attract global talent and encourage innovation in mobile app development.
The playbook complements other strategic AI programmes such as the AI Retreat, Dubai’s Universal Blueprint for AI, and the deployment of Chief AI Officers across government departments. Additional initiatives like AI Week in Dubai schools show a broad commitment to building a future-ready AI ecosystem.
Available now on the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy’s website, The Entrepreneur’s AI Playbook is a key step in supporting tech-driven entrepreneurship in the emirate.
