Dubai’s Chamber of Digital Economy, one of the three key business chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, has officially launched The Entrepreneur’s AI Playbook. This forward-looking guide is designed to help entrepreneurs harness artificial intelligence tools effectively—from the earliest stages of ideation through to scaling operations efficiently and smartly.

What’s Inside the Playbook?

The guide offers hands‑on, stage‑wise guidance:

• Startup Phase: Assistance with naming, branding, value‑proposition development, and business model creation.

• Development Phase: Practical advice on building and refining digital products and services.

• Operational Phase: AI-based strategies for customer acquisition, order and fulfillment management, billing digitization, analytics, and automated customer support.

Why It Matters

The initiative is part of the broader “Create Apps in Dubai” program, championed by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aimed at:

• Empowering and training 1,000 UAE nationals with digital skills.

• Tripling the number of app developers in Dubai by 2025.

• Supporting the launch of 100 new national mobile app projects.

By embedding AI into Dubai’s startup ecosystem, the playbook strengthens emerging businesses and aligns with goals such as the Apps Innovation Championship, which encourages local talent to develop cutting‑edge mobile applications.

Strategic Context: Dubai’s Broader AI Vision

The playbook reflects Dubai’s commitment to developing a world‑class AI ecosystem through key programs and initiatives, including:

• The AI Retreat.

• The Dubai Universal Blueprint for AI.

• Assigning Chief AI Officers across government entities.

• Conducting AI Week in schools across Dubai.

These initiatives are part of a larger strategy to position Dubai as a global hub for tech innovation and digital entrepreneurship.
