The UAE is making history in international trade with the launch of its groundbreaking Ministry of Foreign Trade AI Platform, developed in partnership with Abu Dhabi-based AI firm Presight, a G42 company. This ambitious initiative aims to transform the Emirates into the world’s first fully AI-driven trade ministry.
Real-Time Intelligence at Scale
The platform will analyze millions of data points simultaneously from diverse sources including ports, shipping routes, customs records, international trade laws, and bilateral agreements. This comprehensive approach enables both public and private sector stakeholders to anticipate supply chain disruptions and identify emerging trade opportunities before competitors.
Smart Business Solutions
Businesses operating in the UAE will gain access to AI-enabled services such as smart certificates of origin and regulatory guidance across multiple jurisdictions. The system reduces friction in cross-border transactions by instantly matching demand with supply while providing real-time market intelligence.
For policymakers, the platform significantly enhances evidence-based decision-making capabilities and strengthens the UAE’s negotiating position in international trade agreements. Dubai Trade already processes 90,000 transactions daily, demonstrating the scale of digital infrastructure ready to support AI integration.
Strategic Vision for Global Leadership
The AI platform represents one of eight strategic pillars under the UAE Global Centre of Trade programme, launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid in November 2025. The initiative is expected to set new benchmarks for the global trade sector, unlocking seamless international commerce by reducing costly disruptions.
As global trade becomes increasingly complex, the UAE’s investment in AI-driven infrastructure positions it as an essential hub connecting East and West. This initiative reinforces the nation’s commitment to maintaining its competitive edge as a global gateway for goods and services while opening new markets for Emirati exports.
