ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, is set to emphasize enterprise preparedness for the AI revolution at its upcoming User Conference. The event will be held at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre, on February 18–19, 2025, bringing together industry leaders and technology experts.
“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 reshape modern enterprise IT.”
AI's Economic Influence in the Middle East
According to PwC, artificial intelligence is forecasted to contribute 2%—approximately USD 320 billion—of the total global economic gains in the Middle East by 2030. The UAE alone is projected to see AI drive nearly 14% of its GDP, with annual AI-driven economic growth estimated between 20–34%. This positions the UAE as a leader in AI-powered expansion across the region.
“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.
