Launching a national initiative to empower ten thousand companies
du, the leading telecommunications and advanced digital solutions provider in the United Arab Emirates, has announced the launch of a large-scale training program aimed at developing skills in using agentic and autonomous artificial intelligence models within the “du Business” portfolio tailored for the enterprise sector, with the goal of empowering 10,000 small and medium-sized enterprises across the emirates.
This ambitious national program provides small and medium-sized enterprise owners and their specialized teams with free and comprehensive access to technical knowledge, advanced digital tools, and direct hands-on skills required to adopt autonomous AI solutions, thereby accelerating digital transformation and doubling institutional productivity in the modern business environment.
The training program is built on a pioneering educational methodology based on the principle of “learning by doing and application,” moving beyond abstract theoretical frameworks to deliver interactive training experiences that simulate real-world uses of smart systems in daily business. The program was designed on the premise that all organizations and companies can benefit from autonomous AI models regardless of their prior technical background; the initiative simplifies procedures and removes usual technical complexities, enabling companies across various sectors to build future capabilities that enhance their competitive presence in the growing digital economy.
Bridging the gap between theoretical awareness and practical application
For many participating entrepreneurs and project owners, the program represents their first hands-on, direct experience with the mechanics of autonomous AI agents, equipping participants with ready-to-apply skills for immediate implementation to improve supply chain efficiency and operational processes, reduce material costs, enhance customer experience, and elevate the competitiveness of national companies by bridging the gap between general AI awareness and its actual adoption in daily operations.
The training program will be implemented in consecutive time stages to ensure the absorption of more small and medium-sized enterprises throughout the initiative’s duration, with plans to expand session reach via digital platforms and multiple training locations to ensure maximum flexibility and accessibility. du Business will provide a selection of certified trainers, specialized training curricula, and autonomous AI experts in accordance with the highest global standards in digital empowerment.

Through du Business, we seek to provide all companies in the United Arab Emirates with innovative tools and practical confidence to achieve this transformation on the ground. This initiative reflects our commitment as a strategic partner in the national digital transformation journey by providing free training focused on tangible applications for 10,000 companies.”
The initiative contributes to building a more resilient, innovative, and sustainable national business ecosystem capable of capitalizing on the vast opportunities offered by the smart economy, supporting the UAE’s vision to become the leading global center for technological innovation and artificial intelligence by 2031, and cementing du Business’s position as the most reliable digital transformation partner for the local business sector.
