‘Everyone is looking at artificial intelligence as a key technology that they want to make sure is embedded in to whatever they’re offering,’ said a top official<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artificial intelligence is becoming a key pillar of growth at the Dubai International Financial Centre, where officials say the\u00a0number of AI-focused firms\u00a0has increased sharply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has been a\u00a0surge in AI companies,\u00a0with more than 160 currently registered at DIFC\u2019s Innovation Hub, said its CEO, Mohammad Al Blooshi. The fintech accelerator aims to have 500 AI-enabled companies at the campus, a hub dedicated to AI and tech companies in the UAE, by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy default, I think there’s a huge\u00a0focus on artificial intelligence,\u00a0be it startups or be it corporates, government,\u201d Al Blooshi said. \u201cEveryone is looking at artificial intelligence as a key focus area, as a key technology that they want to make sure is embedded in to whatever they’re offering.\u201d He added that DIFC is looking at implementing AI in their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking into the future, Al Blooshi said that DIFC \u201cwants to make sure our commitment is to build the region’s largest AI hubs, and one of the leading fintech hubs. We are now ranked [among] the top five fintech hubs globally. Hopefully, we’re able to push that number forward in fintech and AI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside supporting companies, DIFC is also working on upskilling talent. Al Blooshi said the recently announced\u00a0Dubai AI Academy\u00a0will help support this goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DIFC will launch new initiatives in the space of climate finance, decentralised finance, and inclusive banking, said Arif Amiri, the CEO of DIFC Authority, said at the recently concluded Dubai FinTech Summit 2025, which took place on May 12 and May 13. He also said that the centre will focus on building an ecosystem where everybody will have access to finance, adding that \u201cfinancial access is a right, not a privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough the DIFC, we have built and created an environment that nurtures innovation while protecting integrity,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have developed and built one of the most advanced financial ecosystems, home to over 1,300 fintech and innovation firms, a number that continues to grow at an unprecedented pace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DIFC is part of Dubai\u2019s vision to diversify its economic resources and attract capital and investments in the region. Though it is within the UAE, it has its own independent jurisdiction and has its own legal and regulatory framework for civil and commercial issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
