9/19/25, 10:55 AM How Emiratisation Is Powering UAE's Transition To A Knowledge Economy
This convergence of technologies and talents is already underway. As AI reshapes jobs, decision-making and business
models, Emirati professionals who develop strong digital and AI capabilities will be well positioned to excel in both
performance and leadership. Recognising this, the UAE government is actively promoting AI literacy and digital skills
development across all sectors, an action that is an essential component of the modern Emiratisation strategy. Starting this
academic year, the UAE will also roll out a mandatory AI curriculum in all public schools, from kindergarten through Grade
12-ensuring that the next generation is equipped from the ground up with the skills of the future.

A foundation for sustainability and sovereignty

Emiratisation is also essential to the UAE's broader national goals of economic sovereignty, social cohesion and resilience.
By cultivating a locally rooted talent base across industries and leadership levels, the UAE is reducing its dependency on
expatriate labour and building an economy led by a workforce that is both diverse and locally driven.

The evolution of Emiratisation is a unique factor. It is no longer just about filling positions; it is about building strategic
capacity, nurturing leadership and empowering people. We believe that Emiratisation represents a redefinition of success,
measured not just by how many Emiratis enter the workforce, but also by how much they contribute and shape the future.
As the UAE continues its remarkable journey, Emirati professionals will remain central to the country's progress,
transforming challenges into opportunities and ambition into achievements.
