Strengthening Microsoft’s AI Influence in the Middle East
To build a thriving AI ecosystem, Microsoft must continue supporting and growing its
community of AI influencers. Expanding MVP recruitment will help increase Microsoft
MVP representation in the region and actively support emerging tech leaders. Providing
funding and resources for user groups will ensure sustainability and enhance learning
opportunities for developers. Strengthening developer relations by collaborating with
regional stakeholders and influencers will help scale AI skilling programs. Encouraging
cross-regional knowledge-sharing will further enhance the impact of Microsoft’s AI
initiatives in the Middle East.
The Middle East is at the forefront of an AI revolution, and by strengthening AI skilling
programs, Developer Relations, and MVP engagement, Microsoft can unlock new
opportunities for growth, innovation, and leadership in the AI space.
The time to shape the future of AI in the Middle East is now. Microsoft, together with its
AI influencers, stakeholders, and partners, is poised to drive meaningful change and
foster a community of AI excellence in the region.
