Dubai, United Arab Emirates – November 2025: A new chapter in the UAE’s technological future begins today with the official opening of the AI Centre of Excellence, a first-of-its-kind national initiative founded by Lakeba Group, DoxAI, AqlanX, and the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD).

Located at UOWD’s campus in Dubai Knowledge Park – the region’s leading hub for lifelong learning and part of TECOM Group PJSC, the Centre is designed to become the engine room of the UAE’s sovereign AI strategy, combining advanced research, innovation, and commercialization under one roof. Its mission: to build, deploy, and export sovereign AI technologies created in the Emirates — for the Emirates — and for the world.
