DMCC, the free zone and Government of Dubai Authority on commodities trade and enterprise, has announced the launch of the DMCC AI Centre as Dubai’s latest innovation platform to advance pragmatic artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and the development of real-life use cases to scale throughout the MENA region.

During the launch event, DMCC spokespersons briefed over 60 select guests, including Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), Dr Marwan Alzarouni, Chief AI Officer, Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), ambassadors, government ministers, AI companies and other industry stakeholders, on the new centre’s range of services and unique benefits.

Khalfan Belhoul, Chief Executive Officer of the Dubai Future Foundation, emphasised Dubai and the UAE’s commitment to becoming a world leader in AI by 2031 through the National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence.

He highlighted the opening of the DMCC AI Centre as a significant milestone in achieving this goal, fostering an environment that attracts new companies, encourages innovation, and solidifies Dubai’s status as a global hub for AI and emerging technologies.

Occupying two floors of DMCC’s headquarters in Uptown Tower, the AI Centre will be part of a newly integrated hub alongside DMCC’s established technology ecosystems the DMCC Crypto Centre and DMCC Gaming Centre. It will offer a modern and state-of-the-art space, providing members with world-class facilities including advanced co-working spaces, high-tech meeting rooms and an exclusive AI solution showroom.

DMCC is already home to over 50 AI and robotics companies from all over the world, including AMD, Autel Robotics, HIKVISION, Laipic, and QX Lab AI. As part of DMCC AI Centre’s wider value offering, DMCC has onboarded a range of leading AI players as official partners.

Global custom software and app developer Builder.ai will support DMCC members build apps using AI technology, while UAE-based AGCC will run accelerator and market entry programmes to attract and scale up the best AI technology from around the world. One such event is already set to take place at Expand North Star in Dubai this October, with DMCC and AGCC organising a competition with a prize pool of US$100,000 for start-ups to scale up practical, sustainability-focused AI solutions in the GCC region.

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, said, “With AI projected to add over US$15 trillion to the global economy by 2030, its transformative potential on global trade, supply chains and business is clear. Capitalising on this momentum, the DMCC AI Centre will provide companies, investors and partners with another world-class ecosystem from which to access the best AI services and solutions from Dubai. As we scale up these technologies and attract new service providers, these benefits will be extended to both AI and non-AI companies, creating a multiplier effect for DMCC’s business district and our community as a whole.”

Sachin Dev Duggal, Founder & Chief Wizard, Builder.ai, stated, “We’re really excited to partner with DMCC AI Centre to bring practical, impactful AI solutions to DMCC’s business community, Dubai, and the MENA region. At Builder.ai, we believe in AI’s power to transform industries and enable every business and entrepreneur to become digitally empowered. Through this collaboration, we can help businesses across sectors tap into advanced technology that drives real and scalable growth.”
