has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the American University in Dubai

technologies and the UAE’s digital transformation.
The partnership aims to empower national talent through the 5,000 Digital Talents initiative,

UAE government's efforts to build a sustainable digital economy that prioritises knowledge,
technological innovation, and academic excellence, while also enhancing the national
human capital.
The agreement was held in the presence of H.E. Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for
Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications and was signed by
