Al Falasi said: “At DGHR, we consider investing in human capital as a major step towards attaining the vision of our wise
leadership in leading the global innovation and technology landscape and positioning Dubai at the forefront of the world’s top
knowledge economies. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in empowering our workforce with skills to drive digital
transformation across both public and private sectors with precision and agility. The move will ensure the sustainability of economic
and social development and ensure the emirate’s competitiveness in different fields. In addition, this agreement signifies our
unwavering commitment to shaping a prosperous future for the coming generations by equipping them with vital knowledge and
technologies and promoting a work environment based on innovation, creativity, and institutional excellence.”

Furthermore, the collaboration comes in alignment with Dubai’s ambitious vision to attain global leadership in technology and
digital transformation. It also contributes to the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) by developing a sustainable knowledge
economy based on exploring and leveraging advanced global technologies to strengthen the field of human resources.

His Excellency Essa Kazim, Governor of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), said:

“The development of a future-ready workforce is fundamental to Dubai’s ambition of becoming a global leader in technology and
innovation. This collaboration between DGHR and DIFC’s Dubai AI Campus underscores the importance of aligning efforts across
government entities to equip talent in the public and private sectors with advanced AI capabilities. By investing in human capital
and fostering cross-sector partnerships, we are creating the foundations for a sustainable knowledge economy that will drive
growth, competitiveness, and long-term prosperity for the emirate.”

Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will jointly implement a series of training programs focused on real-world
applications, with courses tailored to meet the requirements of targeted segments in the labour market, such as senior executives
and mid-level managers. It will also include the provisions for hands-on training and practical projects, alongside career
mentorship, residency training programs, and exclusive opportunities for networking and knowledge exchange, to foster strong
professional relationships among participants.

A key initiative under this partnership is the ‘AI for Civil Service’ program, aimed at upskilling government employees by training
them in using generative AI technologies to enhance public services. As part of the program, participants need to present
innovative ideas, which will be assessed by a specialised committee comprising representatives from the DIFC, Udacity, and
industry experts. The program also provides opportunities for knowledge sharing, along with access to advanced mentoring and
coaching sessions.

The cooperation also focuses on hosting advanced and specialised seminars and workshops, producing high-quality scientific
content, and sharing the latest research on AI applications in human resources management. Furthermore, the agreement
promotes joint efforts in supporting tech initiatives and events held in Dubai, aiming to enhance institutional performance and
improve workplace environments.

This agreement builds on the Department’s relentless efforts to develop and invest in human capital in order to position Dubai as a
leader in digital transformation and boost economic productivity through the broad integration of AI education. It represents the
shared vision of the DGHR Department, DIFC, and Dubai AI Campus to foster a culture of government-led innovation while
preparing a new generation of leaders and specialists with the necessary skills and mindset to shape the future and actively
support Dubai’s global ambitions and forward-looking vision.
