du Business Launches AI Training Program for 10,000 UAE SMEs
du Business has launched a large-scale Agentic AI upskilling initiative to support 10,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UAE. The program aims to provide business owners and their teams with practical knowledge, tools and skills to adopt AI technologies and accelerate digital transformation.
The initiative offers free access to AI learning resources and practical capabilities. Additionally, it focuses on helping SMEs understand how Agentic AI can support business growth and improve operational performance.
Practical AI training for SME growth
The program follows a “learning by doing” approach. Therefore, participants will gain hands-on experience through real-world AI applications instead of only learning theoretical concepts.
Furthermore, the initiative simplifies AI adoption for businesses without technical backgrounds. As a result, SMEs across different industries can develop practical skills and confidently integrate AI into their workflows.
For many participants, the program will provide their first direct experience with Agentic AI tools and processes. Moreover, it helps close the gap between understanding AI concepts and applying them in daily business operations.
Through the training, SMEs can discover ways to improve efficiency, reduce costs, enhance customer engagement and strengthen competitiveness. Additionally, businesses can apply these skills immediately to support their digital growth.
The training will be delivered in phases to allow continuous onboarding of SMEs. Meanwhile, online learning options and additional training locations will expand accessibility across the UAE.
Specialist trainers, structured modules and Agentic AI expertise will support the program. Furthermore, the training content will follow global standards for SME digital enablement and technology adoption.
Building an AI-ready SME ecosystem
The initiative aims to develop future-ready capabilities among SMEs across the UAE. Therefore, it supports a more innovative, resilient and competitive business environment prepared for AI-driven opportunities.
Additionally, the program strengthens access to digital transformation support for small and medium-sized businesses. As AI adoption continues to increase, practical training and accessible solutions will become essential for long-term business success.
The initiative also contributes to the UAE’s vision of becoming a global leader in AI and digital innovation. Furthermore, it reinforces the role of digital solutions in helping SMEs navigate every stage of their transformation journey.
