These tools help to grow businesses, allow people to work better, and make daily routines easier. A higher amount of money has come from research and competition, which helps local companies reach a wide audience.

Since 2018, more than 430,000 people in the UAE have learned digital and AI skills through Google’s training programs. In 2024, applications built on Android and Google Play helped create 30,000 jobs and provided Dhs455 million to local application developers. These tools support the growing technology and creative industries.

Strong Business and Public Use

A survey conducted in 2025 revealed that most people use Google’s tools every day, especially to check prices, read reviews, or search for businesses. 91% of businesses use at least one AI tool, and public offices saw better productivity. Many young people shop online or search using Google tools every week.
