Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai attended the opening of the third Dubai AI Festival on Monday, an event that has gathered more than 20,000 participants from 100 countries, 150 speakers, 500 investors and 200 exhibitors.
On the sidelines, Sheikh Hamdan reviewed the progress of Dubai AI Campus at DIFC and its expansion into the Zabeel District. The campus has attracted more than 500 specialised companies and secured over AED 1 billion in investment, reaching its original targets two years ahead of schedule.
Dubai has now set a new goal of bringing more than 1,000 specialised companies to the campus by 2030.
“In Dubai, we continue to raise our ambitions, positioning the city at the forefront of AI and shaping the future of the global economy,” Sheikh Hamdan said in a post on X.
