The artificial intelligence sector is seeing significant activity through international industry forums and workforce development initiatives. In Dubai, the AI Future Forum 2026 is set to address the intersection of artificial intelligence, Web3, and cryptocurrency, with expectations of hosting over 15,000 attendees.

Building on this technological momentum, India is expanding its global AI presence. At the Dubai AI Festival 2026, a delegation of 23 Indian companies presented various solutions, including GPU cloud computing, computer vision, and multilingual voice AI. Complementing these technological exports, SAP has launched an initiative to provide AI-ready skills to 2 million people in India by 2030, aiming to meet the growing demand for digital talent through partnerships with government and academic institutions.
