Khalifa Fund and UAE Businesswomen Council Boost AI Skills for Women Entrepreneurs
The second course under Level One of the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Program for Women-Led Start-ups brought together 25 businesswomen and entrepreneurs. Additionally, the initiative focused on practical AI applications to improve business operations and competitiveness.
The Ajman Businesswomen Council hosted the training, titled ‘Artificial Intelligence for Entrepreneurs’. Moreover, the programme forms part of a strategic partnership designed to accelerate technology adoption among women-led businesses.
Through this initiative, participants gained practical knowledge of emerging technologies and their applications in everyday business activities. Consequently, the programme aims to help entrepreneurs operate more efficiently and compete in the UAE’s growing digital economy.
AI Training Focuses on Business Automation and Productivity
The training introduced participants to artificial intelligence fundamentals and practical business applications. Furthermore, it explored how entrepreneurs can integrate AI-powered solutions into their existing operations.
A key component involved developing a ‘virtual co-founder’ using artificial intelligence. This digital assistant concept helps entrepreneurs manage business activities, streamline decisions and support business growth.
Additionally, participants explored AI tools for organising files, managing data and handling emails. They also learned how to automate repetitive workflows and develop intelligent assistants tailored to their business requirements.
These applications can reduce administrative workloads while improving productivity and operational efficiency. As a result, entrepreneurs can potentially save time, optimise resources and focus on strategic business priorities.
The course also highlighted the growing importance of AI literacy in modern entrepreneurship. Moreover, practical training enables business owners to identify suitable technologies and apply them to real operational challenges.
Strategic Partnerships Strengthen Women-Led Businesses
The initiative reflects growing collaboration between UAE institutions to support women entrepreneurs and strengthen their participation in the digital economy.
The UAE Businesswomen Council aims to translate strategic partnerships into practical training opportunities across the country. Furthermore, cooperation with the Khalifa Fund and Ajman Businesswomen Council supports wider access to technology-focused entrepreneurial development.
The programme also aligns with the Khalifa Fund’s efforts to strengthen the UAE’s entrepreneurship ecosystem. Additionally, it supports women’s contributions to economic growth, diversification and innovation.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing how businesses operate, compete and create value. Therefore, equipping entrepreneurs with relevant technical knowledge can help them adapt to changing market demands.
The initiative also supports the UAE Businesswomen Council’s objective of expanding women’s participation in technology-driven economic activities.
Moreover, practical AI applications can help women-led enterprises develop innovative solutions, improve productivity and strengthen long-term operational sustainability.
UAE Expands AI Skills Development for Women Entrepreneurs
The UAE Businesswomen Council and Khalifa Fund plan to continue implementing the training programme with businesswomen councils across the country.
Through these partnerships, more women entrepreneurs will gain opportunities to develop future-focused digital skills. Additionally, the initiative seeks to make emerging technologies more accessible to start-ups and established women-led enterprises.
The programme highlights the importance of combining entrepreneurship development with practical technology education. Furthermore, AI-powered tools can help smaller businesses improve efficiency without significantly increasing operational resources.
As artificial intelligence reshapes business models, digital capabilities are becoming increasingly important for sustainable growth. Consequently, initiatives focused on practical AI adoption can strengthen business resilience and competitiveness.
The continued expansion of the programme also supports the UAE’s wider ambitions for an innovation-driven, knowledge-based economy.
Ultimately, the collaboration aims to empower women entrepreneurs, accelerate digital transformation and strengthen their contribution to the UAE’s sustainable economic development.
