Abu Dhabi – Sharikat Mubasher:  Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development announced it has partnered with 42 Abu Dhabi, a coding academy focused on project-based learning, to deliver the AgenticVerse Summer Program, equipping secondary school students with practical skills in artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship.

Held over five days, the program challenged students to work in teams to develop AI-powered solutions for real-world problems, according to a recent press release. Participants created projects ranging from AI career coaches and smart study planners to interactive games and video story generators while building teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

A key feature of the program was the Khalifa Fund Innovation Challenge, where students in Grades 9–12 designed an AI-powered entrepreneurial advisor to help aspiring founders identify business goals and access personalized learning pathways.

In addition to technical training in AI design, prompt engineering and pitching, Khalifa Fund introduced participants to its entrepreneurship support ecosystem, including financing programs, advisory services and MZN Hub.

The program is being held in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain throughout July and August 2026. Participants who successfully complete the course receive a Level 4 National Qualifications Centre (NQC) micro-credential, supporting the UAE’s efforts to build a knowledge-based, innovation-driven economy.
