ManageEngine’s Dubai User Conference to Focus On Enterprise AI

ManageEngine will focus on enterprise preparedness for the AI era at its Dubai User Conference, taking place at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre, on February 18th and 19th, 2025.

“AI is becoming an essential driver for digital transformation, and enterprises must define their own unique paths to leverage its benefits while mitigating the associated risks,” said Rajesh Ganesan, CEO of ManageEngine. “At this year’s Dubai User Conference, we will engage with our customers and partners in the UAE to explore how modern enterprises can navigate through challenges and be AI-ready. We will also share our perspective on AI adoption and showcase how AI-powered solutions are reshaping modern enterprise IT.”

According to PwC, AI is projected to contribute 2% of the total global economic benefits—equivalent to USD 320 billion—to the Middle East by 2030. Also, by 2030, the UAE is expected to see AI account for nearly 14% of its GDP. The region’s AI-driven economic growth is anticipated to grow between 20–34% annually, with the UAE leading the expansion.

“The UAE government has outlined an ambitious AI vision, aiming to be a global leader in AI by 2031. Several national initiatives are already in place to develop AI capabilities and accelerate its adoption across government and enterprises. At ManageEngine, we are empowering UAE businesses to contribute to the country’s vision through our AI-enhanced solutions. These solutions will enable organizations to overcome the challenges in the current IT landscape and help prepare for the future,” said Nirmal Kumar Manoharan, Regional Director at ManageEngine.
