Dubai is set to become the launchpad for a new AI trade and investment hub, following a strategic partnership between the Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI) and the South African Artificial Intelligence Association (SAAIA). The initiative aims to boost cross-border collaboration and create fresh opportunities for AI startups and investors across EMEA.
The hub will serve as a channel for AI talent, innovation, and funding between these fast-growing markets, with the goal of accelerating the development and deployment of AI technologies.
Positioned at the crossroads of global commerce, Dubai offers an ideal base for nurturing emerging technologies and this partnership underscores the emirate’s ambition to drive innovation not only locally, but across key international markets.
