In brief
Dubai Chambers will now award a new Agentic AI category in the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award, targeting Dubai’s private sector. The award examines talent readiness, implementation, cybersecurity and measurable business gains. Winners aim to lead in practical, responsible AI adoption and inspire wider industry uptake.
On November 1, 2026, Dubai Chambers announced the launch of a new Agentic AI category for the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award. The initiative will recognise Dubai‑based private companies that use autonomous AI to drive measurable business results.
The new category will evaluate firms from all sectors for talent readiness, AI implementation, cybersecurity alignment and tangible performance gains. An independent expert panel will judge the entries.
The programme falls under Dubai’s private‑sector Agentic AI transformation initiative, overseen by Dubai Chambers and led by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.
Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, said that “Agentic AI is a key driver of business competitiveness, innovation, and growth.” He added that the award aims to “recognise companies that demonstrate excellence in applying these technologies and translating their potential into tangible business results.”
The goal of the category is to accelerate responsible AI adoption, enhance productivity, transform workflows, support decision‑making and strengthen business competitiveness across Dubai’s private sector.
