Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy trains 14,000 companies on smart agents through two partnerships with Neebios and Lovable
The government’s bet is shifting from merely chatting with models to delegating independent tasks to agent software.The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy signed two memoranda of understanding to train 14,000 companies on AI systems that perform tasks autonomously step by step, rather than relying on traditional chat windows, in an initiative overseen by Dubai Chambers and targeting entities under the umbrella of the business groups and councils affiliated with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, in parallel with the objectives of Dubai’s Economic Agenda D33, which aims to double the emirate’s economy by 2033.
The two agreements were signed in the presence of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, as part of a program launched last May by Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, with the first partnership involving the Neebios Academy, the training arm of Neebios, a cloud-computing company valued at $63 billion according to the statement, while the second track partners with the software-development platform Lovable to enable staff and entrepreneurs to build their digital tools directly.
The dual track combines academic qualification for executive teams with direct access to development environments.Under its memorandum, the Neebios Academy is responsible for delivering licensed training content, accredited certificates, and specialized technical workshops led by experts, as well as programs to prepare and qualify local trainers, with these tracks to be broadcast to executive leaders, technical teams and staff via the digital platform ‘Dubai Chambers Academy’.
In return, the agreement with Lovable gives founders and companies access to the platform, its educational resources and participation in technical events and workshops, while the company provides usage credits fully funded by Dubai Chambers to participants in the ‘Assistive AI Challenge’. Lauren Rod, head of revenue at Lovable, noted that the goal is to help founders and participating teams turn ideas into working software and manage their projects on the ground, and Saeed Al-Qurqawi, deputy head of the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, affirmed the chamber’s commitment to deepening the private sector’s understanding of how to deploy these self-operating tools to boost competitiveness and build a flexible business ecosystem for the future.
What changes in practice for technical and operational team managers in the UAE and the region goes beyond theoretical training programmes: the functional standard is no longer limited to writing commands and generating text, but now requires the ability to manage and review the workflow of software agents that execute complex tasks without real-time intervention. Funding for usage costs and accredited certificates from a government-run trade chamber gives local companies the advantage of testing computing and automation architectures at zero cost during pilot phases, but it also requires developers and managers in the Gulf and Egypt to master path engineering and audit agent outputs to protect data security and work quality before adopting them as permanent enterprise solutions.
