Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, one of the three chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, published “The Entrepreneur’s AI Playbook” on 29 July 2025. The 52‑page guide provides startups and SMEs with step‑by‑step reference material covering ideation, product‑market fit, data governance, capital‑raising, and regulatory compliance for artificial‑intelligence ventures. The playbook was unveiled during a launch event at Dubai Chambers headquarters attended by 150 founders and ecosystem partners.
Content was developed in collaboration with Dubai Future Foundation, the Mohammed bin Rashid Innovation Fund, and leading private‑sector AI practitioners. Each chapter includes case studies of UAE‑incorporated companies, checklists for responsible‑AI principles, and summaries of relevant federal and emirate‑level legislation, such as the UAE Data Protection Law and Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulation.
The publication forms part of the Chamber’s “Business in AI” programme, which targets the creation of 30,000 specialised digital jobs by 2030. An online version of the playbook is available in English and Arabic through the Chamber’s official website, accompanied by a self‑assessment tool that generates tailored resource recommendations based on a company’s industry and growth stage.
