Outworks Introduces Month-Long Programme to Scale AI Agents in MEA

Outworks, an AI-native transformation company headquartered in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), has launched Sprint 30, a structured programme designed to help governments and large enterprises across the Middle East and Africa move from AI strategy to fully operational and governed AI agents within 30 days.

Unlike traditional AI initiatives that can involve lengthy pilots and proof-of-concept projects, Sprint 30 focuses on deploying AI agents directly into live business environments, with an emphasis on measurable outcomes, security, governance and data sovereignty.

Moving Enterprise AI from Strategy to Execution

The launch comes as the UAE continues to strengthen its position in the global AI landscape through national strategies aimed at accelerating the adoption of advanced technologies across government and business.

As organisations move beyond AI experimentation, Outworks believes the focus is increasingly shifting towards operational deployment and enterprise-scale implementation.

“The Middle East is entering one of the most significant technology transformations in its history. The conversation has moved beyond whether organisations should adopt artificial intelligence; today the real question is how quickly they can put it to work,” said Hamda Al Mansoori, Founder & Chairwoman of Outworks.

She added that Outworks aims to help governments and enterprises translate AI strategies into execution while delivering measurable impact in weeks rather than months.

Sprint 30 Targets Deployment Within One Month

Sprint 30 has been designed to address some of the barriers that traditionally slow enterprise AI adoption.

Rather than requiring organisations to spend months developing infrastructure before implementation begins, the programme follows a structured framework that progresses from assessment and solution design to production-ready AI agents operating within real workflows in 30 days.

The approach is intended to enable organisations to focus on operational transformation while using a pre-built deployment architecture, governance framework and operating model.

Focus on Sovereignty, Security and Governance

A central component of Sprint 30 is the ability for organisations to deploy AI agents on infrastructure they own and control.

According to Outworks, this approach helps organisations address data sovereignty requirements while maintaining governance, transparency and human oversight throughout the AI deployment lifecycle.

Ahmed Ashoor, Founder & Chief Technology Officer at Outworks, said the 30-day timeframe is based on the company’s engineering approach rather than being positioned simply as a marketing commitment.

“Thirty days is not a marketing promise. It is an engineering decision,” Ashoor said.

He explained that Outworks has already developed the underlying deployment architecture, governance framework and operating model, allowing participating organisations to concentrate on transforming their operations rather than building the technology foundations from scratch.

Advise, Build and Run Model

Outworks operates through an integrated Advise, Build and Run transformation model.

Through this approach, the company works with organisations to identify high-impact AI opportunities, establish secure technology foundations and operate intelligent systems that can evolve alongside changing business requirements.

Deployments are designed around sovereign infrastructure, enabling organisations to retain control over their data while addressing regulatory, security and compliance requirements.

AI Agents Designed to Augment Human Expertise

Outworks believes the next stage of enterprise AI adoption will depend on embedding intelligent systems into everyday business operations rather than treating AI as a standalone technology initiative.

The company positions AI agents as tools to augment human decision-making, automate repetitive and complex processes and allow employees to dedicate more time to higher-value activities that support innovation and growth.

The approach focuses on creating operating environments where employees and intelligent agents work together rather than positioning AI solely as a replacement for human expertise.

Targeting Governments and Enterprises Across MEA

Founded by four leaders with experience spanning government transformation, enterprise technology, artificial intelligence, commercial development and strategic partnerships, Outworks is focused on governments and large enterprises across the Middle East and Africa.

Through Sprint 30, the company aims to shorten the gap between AI ambition and enterprise-scale implementation by combining deployment speed with governance and sovereign infrastructure.

As organisations increasingly compete to capture the economic value of artificial intelligence, Outworks is positioning operational execution, responsible governance and measurable outcomes as key differentiators in the next phase of enterprise AI adoption.
