UAE Ranks Among Top 10 Nations for AI Firms Per Capita

Following a comprehensive analysis of over 55,000 AI companies worldwide, the UAE has secured a spot among the top 10 countries globally with the highest number of artificial intelligence (AI) firms per million people. According to the Global AI Competitiveness Index, a report jointly developed by the International Finance Forum (IFF) and Deep Knowledge Group, this achievement is the result of the country’s targeted investments in AI research, talent development, and regulatory frameworks designed to attract top-tier AI enterprises.
