Fresh from an intensive four-week dive into coding and artificial intelligence, more than 100 young talents in the UAE

have been equipped with the skills needed to either delve deeper into advanced technologies or go straight into
launching their own startups.

The Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development (KFED), in collaboration with coding school 42 Abu Dhabi (42AD),
hosted the first Piscine coding bootcamp at KFED's Al Ain Campus from July 14 to August 7.

The bootcamp attracted as many as 130 participants from diverse backgrounds and offered a unique, decentralised,
peer-to-peer learning experience with a strong focus on coding and AI.
