The Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) is positioning itself as the Gulf region’s leading institution for AI education and innovation.
Based in Abu Dhabi, the university is working to develop local talent, support Emirati startups, and advance the UAE’s ambitions to become a global AI hub. MBZUAI’s is to have a similar impact in the wider UAE as Stanford University had on Silicon Valley.
MBZUAI plays a strategic role in the country’s broader efforts to reduce reliance on foreign expertise and build a self-sustaining technology ecosystem. As the UAE invests heavily in AI and integrates the subject into school curriculums, the university is helping to cultivate a new generation of engineers and researchers equipped to drive the sector forward.
