The UAE government’s Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications Office has partnered with UiPath, a leading enterprise automation and AI firm, in order to advance Agentic Automation, an innovative AI-powered approach to automation.
This collaboration will focus on developing AI-powered automation solutions across government entities while equipping UAE talent with critical AI skills.
The Memorandum of Understanding is aligned with the UAE National Strategy for AI and supports the UAE’s vision to become a global leader in AI by 2031. The deal was signed by Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, and Daniel Dines, Founder and CEO of UiPath, along with the UiPath team.
As part of this collaboration, UiPath will support the creation of an automation and AI training program for up to 100 government employees or students.
Additionally, UiPath will enable the upskilling of participants in Coders HQ, one of the National Program for Coders Initiatives. Coders who enroll in the training program will acquire critical automation and AI skills using the UiPath Business Automation Platform.
The AI and automation training framework, enabled by the UiPath Academy, will provide participants with the opportunity to obtain UiPath Certified credentials.
Moreover, UiPath and the Office will jointly develop a program vision and a roadmap to enable government-backed companies and startups to leverage AI and automation technologies. The partnership will see both sides explore opportunities to increase operational efficiency and enhance society’s experience by embedding AI into public-facing services.
As part of this, the two parties will collaborate to set up several pilot projects exploring the capabilities of the UiPath Business Automation Platform. The collaboration framework will also include UiPath-led workshops designed to increase awareness of the benefits of AI-powered automation.
Dr. Abdulrahman Al Mahmoud, Director at the Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications Office, emphasized that the UAE government is committed to fostering partnerships with entrepreneurs and private sector companies specializing in advanced technology fields to achieve the objectives of the UAE National Strategy for AI.
“AI-powered automation will provide the necessary enablers to leverage AI applications in enhancing government services. These partnerships will support efforts to build government workforce capabilities and prepare them for AI-dependent roles,” Dr. Al Mahmoud added.
