UAE Launches Ambitious Initiative to Upskill 200 Government Employees in AI and Economic Strategy
The UAE has launched an ambitious initiative to upskill its government workforce. Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Mohammed Al Gergawi, announced the programme, reflecting the vision of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai.
The initiative aims to equip 200 government employees with advanced expertise in economic strategy and artificial intelligence. It includes two specialised master's programmes: one in Economic Strategies and International Policy, and another in Artificial Intelligence for the Government Sector. These programmes will be delivered in collaboration with world-leading universities such as Oxford, MIT, Georgetown, NYU, and Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence. The selected universities are recognised for their excellence in executive education and public sector innovation, based on their 2026 global rankings.
The first phase will see 100 fellows selected from each of the two academic tracks. Graduates will be equipped to design forward-looking policies, manage digital transformation projects, and drive initiatives enhancing the UAE's global competitiveness.
This initiative aligns with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed's long-term commitment to lifelong learning and positions the UAE as a global leader in governance, innovation, and sustainable development. The selected fellows will contribute to shaping the future of the UAE's public sector, armed with advanced expertise from top international universities.
