Enterprise AI adoption in UAE: Nextgen moves HQ to Dubai
Exactly 72% of businesses operating in the UAE have adopted AI, up from 53% a year earlier. UK-founded AI transformation firm Nextgen has officially relocated its global headquarters to Dubai.
The surge in UAE business AI adoption
Research from Strand Partners, developed in collaboration with the UAE Artificial Intelligence Office and Amazon Web Services (AWS), found that 72% of businesses have adopted AI. Among organisations already using AI, 85% reported that the technology had directly accelerated their wider business transformation, while roughly 31% were deploying its most advanced applications.
Moving enterprise AI from experimentation to production
Nextgen works closely with government bodies and large-scale enterprises operating across complex, highly regulated sectors. It works across global AI models and enterprise platforms rather than promoting one proprietary platform, selecting and tailoring technology to an organisation’s specific requirements, use case and existing infrastructure environment.
