UAE Stargate: Building a National AI Fabric
With AI expected to add $100 billion to the UAE’s GDP by 2030 and Abu Dhabi building the world’s first AI‑native government, the country is rapidly emerging as a global innovation hub. This session will focus on creating a national AI fabric for the UAE — an integrated platform of data, compute, governance, and skills — to accelerate AI adoption across sectors while protecting sovereignty, security, and ethical standards. Government, industry, academia, and civil society will collaborate to define a shared vision, strategic priorities, and a practical implementation roadmap.
