Google contributed Dh21.8 billion to UAE economy in 2024, says study
21 June 2025 12:16 A. SREENIVASA REDDY (ABU DHABI)Google's products and services contributed Dh21.8 billion to the UAE economy in 2024, according to a new study by Public First, a research economic impact, which amounts to over 1% of the UAE's GDP, underlines the growing role of digital platforms in shaping the country's non-oil to the latest official data, the UAE's GDP in 2024 stood at Dh1.776 trillion, with non-oil GDP accounting for Dh1.342 trillion. The study found that the contribution from Google's ecosystem — including Search, YouTube, Play Store, Cloud and Ads — flowed to businesses, developers, publishers, creators, and non-profits across the study found that 91% of UAE businesses have already integrated at least one AI tool into their workflows, and 87% of businesses view AI as a key economic opportunity. In terms of individual use, 78% of UAE adults reported using AI tools, with 30% using them 'regularly'. This is more than double the figure reported in the United States, where just 13% of adults say they use AI chatbots regularly.'This early embrace of technology reflects the UAE's strong digital infrastructure, pro-innovation policy environment, and a population that recognises AI as a powerful tool for progress,' the report noted. The UAE's national AI strategy is credited with helping position the country as a 'leading AI destination'.The research estimates that Google's products created Dh20 billion in consumer benefits in 2024, the equivalent of Dh683 per month per user. Much of this was driven by time saved, easier access to information, and tools that improve daily life.A remarkable 63% of adults in the UAE said they had used Gemini, Google's generative AI assistant, while 38% reported daily usage. Among them, 90% said Gemini made them more productive, and 71% found it easier to use in Arabic compared to other and Ads alone contributed Dh20.2 billion in business activity in 2024. Of this, Dh3.6 billion was generated by small and medium businesses (SMBs), with Dh394 million worth of goods and services exported using Google's tools. UAE businesses overall exported Dh2.2 billion globally using the same and the Play Store are also part of the value chain. In 2024, they generated Dh455 million in revenue for UAE-based developers and supported Dh418 million in exports. The wider app economy enabled the creation of 30,000 jobs in the country, contributing to the UAE's broader ambition of building a knowledge-based First's research also highlights the impact of upskilling initiatives. Since 2018, Google's Maharat Min Google programme has trained more than 430,000 individuals in the UAE in digital and professional skills. This training support is seen as essential in closing the AI readiness gap: 52% of adults acknowledged they are not currently using AI tools to their full potential, and 95% expressed interest in joining a Google-led skills report noted that 97% of public sector workers in the UAE believe AI-enabled tools from Google make them more productive, and 65% say their job would be harder without young adults aged 18 to 24, the reliance on Google tools is even stronger. Nearly three-quarters of Gemini users in this age group use it for 81% of Google Search users in the same demographic said their education would have been more difficult without it, while 62% said YouTube helped them learn new Maps and Waze also emerged as essential tools for UAE residents. The study found that 89% of adults found these apps useful to avoid getting lost, and 91% said they helped identify the fastest routes. Around 80% use the apps monthly to locate local businesses, and 86% rely on Google reviews before visiting a venue or shopping trends were also highlighted. Ninety-four percent of adults use Google Search at least once a month to compare prices, and 73% of 18–24-year-olds use it weekly for browsing and shopping study also projected the long-term economic potential of cybersecurity and AI. Enhanced cybersecurity capabilities — underpinned by platforms like Google Cloud — could help the UAE avoid at least $6.8 billion in cybercrime losses, create over 20,000 jobs, and attract up to $1.4 billion in cumulative foreign direct investment by the startup front, participants in the Google for Startups Accelerator in MENA have raised over Dh3.43 billion, with Dh337 million raised in the UAE alone. These startups have created more than 1,300 jobs regionally and are scaling across the Middle First estimates that AI tools could help increase productivity across the UAE by 15%, which is equivalent to freeing up 310 hours per worker per year for higher-value tasks. Google commissioned Public First to examine how its innovations and products are supporting UAE communities, workers and businesses, as well as the future potential of AI in the country. Public First conducted two surveys — one of 1,110 online adults and another of 389 business leaders, in both English and Arabic — in March 2025. Source: Aletihad - Abu Dhabi

Google's Veo 3: Advertising's new AI tipping point
Google's launch of Veo 3 is an opportunity to pivot boldly. Brave's Musa Kalenga on Veo 3's impact on Africa We can't think of Veo 3 as just another shiny AI tool. It's a fundamental shift in conceptualising, creating, and connecting with audiences. While global marketers rush to decode its potential, creative marketers in Africa have a unique opportunity to use this tool to leapfrog. A game changer, Google Veo 3 transforms a simple text prompt into an eight-second cinematic video with synchronised dialogue, ambient sounds, and contextually generated music. For the first time, we're not just automating execution but imagination. This is revolutionary in regions where time, budget, and infrastructure limit creative ambition. Imagine a township entrepreneur generating product ads with multinational production quality or a pan-African NGO building immersive campaigns without hiring film crews. A new era, a new African story For over a century, the global video production industry has been dominated by the United States, an era that began in earnest during World War I. More recently, Bollywood and Nollywood have emerged as regional powerhouses, each with distinctive styles, scale, and storytelling traditions. However, with Veo 3, the US's historical dominance can finally be challenged, enabling new industries and narratives to emerge. Young African creators no longer need to migrate, fundraise, or outsource to tell stories that will impact the world. From Cape Town to Kigali, they can now produce world-class visuals at speed and scale, using only a laptop and their imagination. This levels the playing field in a way no generation could have imagined. This will shake up the global advertising industry. Not only will it introduce new creative voices into the mainstream, but it will also bring much-needed cultural diversity into campaigns. For South African marketers, in particular, it's a breakthrough. It enables us to compete globally with local budgets by exporting our creative style, social intelligence, and storytelling craft without the overheads. This could be the most meaningful economic opening for agencies and production houses across the continent since the digital revolution. AI Video making has changed the game With a prompt laptop and Gemini subscription, creativity is no longer beholden to cost. For too long, video has been a high-investment format, but no longer. Veo 3 hasn't just lowered the barriers to entry; it has obliterated them. Now, creatives and creators can create video on demand. But let's be clear: democratisation doesn't equal commoditisation. Just because anyone can create doesn't mean everyone will make something memorable, relevant and resonant. Veo 3 doesn't understand why stories matter. It can't grasp what makes a South African moment poignant or culturally sharp. It replicates emotion but not intent. At Brave Group, we see Veo 3 as an accelerant, not a threat. It supercharges our ability to prototype and iterate. This is why we developed Forge by Brave. This accessible AI-powered platform gives time back to marketing departments by making brand building quicker, easier and better, thanks to technology. Forge reshapes how campaigns are created, developed and delivered by using one place to effect brand strategy, creative concepts, social media posts, assets, and production. Creativity, say hello to execution at the speed of thought With the current advancements in video AI, we'll soon be able to ideate a TVC in the morning, generate mood films by lunch, and have campaign-ready edits by the end of the day. We applaud Veo 3, which excels at speed, fidelity, and consistency. Veo 3 maintains object continuity, synchronises soundscapes, and simulates physics – all in seconds. It is invaluable for pre-production and transformative for performance marketing, where agility matters. But here's the big challenge for brand owners – the more brands lean into automation, the more homogeneous their creative output will likely become. AI-generated content is only as fresh as the prompts it receives, and prompts are as powerful as the humans who write them. Being human is a strategic advantage Ad agencies will remain highly relevant in the AI age because integrated thinking is a strategic advantage. AI sits inside the creative ecosystem but shouldn't run it. Agencies that understand brands, branding, storytelling, and the creative process and who are strategically and media smart, will be a competitive advantage. Why? Storytelling must remain culturally grounded and emotionally intelligent if brands are to remain relevant and resonant. Veo 3 will displace parts of the production value chain. Entry-level editors, animators, and production studios will feel pressure. Price points will also come under pressure as clients ask: 'Why pay R500,000 for something Veo 3 generates in an afternoon?' This disruption isn't hypothetical; it is happening in mature markets now. But disruption means evolution, not destruction. The big challenge for agencies is to understand what parts of our craft are irreplaceable, and to bring this to the fore. Vision, originality, integrated strategy and cultural resonance are human qualities. Cultivate these and you'll remain indispensable. AI is a boon for the continent Moving outside of our sector, Veo 3 will significantly benefit African creativity. Africa is a continent of technophiles used to making a lot from a little because of infrastructural limitations; we've always been scrappy, lateral, and daring. Veo 3's limitation is cultural nuance. Yes, the videos are hyper-real and photorealistic. But are they authentically local? Can this AI differentiate between a township spaza shop and a suburban deli? Between Joburg's swagger and Durban's cool? Not yet. That's where cultural custodianship becomes critical. Brands that use Veo 3 without cultural intelligence will quickly be exposed. Audiences are unforgiving when authenticity is missing. Use Veo 3 to amplify stories, not erase them. Train your models. Build prompt libraries. Push tech providers to localise datasets. Representation isn't just about who's on-screen but who's shaping the machine. The future of ad agencies The good news is that Veo 3 isn't the end of advertising agencies. It begins a new storytelling era where imagination and execution converge. Why? Because tools don't make magic. People do. Our industry will face the temptation to automate the soul out of creativity. To flood markets with slick, empty videos that say everything and mean nothing. At Brave Group, we choose differently. We believe AI enables ideas to fly higher and faster, but it never replaces the human heart, mind and soul of advertising. Let's build advertising's next chapter with courage, creativity, and conscience.

AI is all about doing more with less and opens the door to new possibilities
In 2025 and the second half of this decade, artificial intelligence (AI) will become a defining measure of South African businesses' success. Today, the technology touches every corner of the modern enterprise, from sales and marketing to administration and finance. According to a survey conducted by Ipsos for Google, AI usage is up in South Africa compared to 2024, with excitement about its potential now outweighing concern. Over half of the surveyed South Africans report they've used generative AI (GenAI) in the last year. Author: Werner Joubert, commercial SYS director (South Africa & SADC) at Asus This level of adoption reflects the impact of AI not only in large multinational enterprises, but also in small-to-medium businesses, fledgling entrepreneurs and lone professionals who see the technology's potential at any scale. Technology vendors have responded to this by creating an ecosystem of systems and solutions that help businesses leverage AI to unlock new value. With the right strategic implementation, enterprises can turn potential into performance. AI at any scale for any business So, how is AI all about doing more with less? At its core, AI is an exercise in automation. It eliminates the need for employees and professionals to carry out manual, repetitive and time-consuming tasks. Some of the most common AI uses in the enterprise today, regardless of the size or scale, include: - Schedule optimisation: Companies can use AI tools to optimise scheduling by consolidating factors such as employee availability, skills, preferences and customer traffic. For example, a business like a coffee shop can determine who and how many employees they need available to meet demand levels throughout the day. - Customer service: Chatbots and other conversational AI tools can provide business customers with additional support and serve as a dedicated portal for addressing queries. - Finance: GenAI platforms, backed by large language models (LLMs) that specialise in accounting, cash flow and taxes, can help employees process transactions and invoices more quickly, while also reducing the potential for data entry errors. - Personalisation and content creation: Every business has the potential to be unique. Using GenAI tools to create tailor-made content and promotional material, businesses can put their stamp on the landscape while offering high levels of customisation based on customer preferences, behaviours and market trends. From there, the potential applications of AI expand to cover all enterprise functions, across every industry vertical, from education to healthcare. As a business driver, AI has proven to be incredibly versatile and scalable, with businesses integrating it into their organisations in whatever way, shape or form they see fit. They're able to do that with the help of state-of-the-art hardware and digital resources that make AI accessible like never before. The right kind of tech? For many businesses in South Africa, AI adoption does not involve investing large sums of money in training their own models or running expansive cloud computing environments. Not every enterprise requires the same level of digital infrastructure to run and evolve. For many, the value of AI lies in simple integrations and the use of cutting-edge products that are readily available. We see this with the likes of Gemini and Midjourney, but the AI revolution has also given rise to innovative platforms and services that blend seamlessly and are work with existing enterprise hardware. One such example is Copilot, an AI-powered chat service from Microsoft that generates content and automates tasks, while also supporting users of other Microsoft technologies such as Windows, Microsoft 365 and GitHub. It is accessible via web browsers on multiple operating systems, including Windows and macOS, and is also integrated into tools like Windows and Microsoft 365. It offers general AI assistant capabilities that can help enterprise users significantly improve and enhance their workflows. Through services such as Copilot, technology vendors have begun to refine their value offerings and provide customers with solutions that are designed, built and optimised for AI in the enterprise. Laptops are now available with dedicated AI chips and OEM platforms and applications that further empower businesses and professionals. This is AI made accessible, and it has the power to transform enterprises of all shapes and sizes. AI is how we do more with less. It's also how we do more with what we have. By evaluating the value proposition of AI features and understanding the gains they offer, enterprises can not only make their organisations more intelligent, but also help employees and professionals get the most out of their hardware, adopt the latest practices and take their ideas and businesses into the future.
