AI agents could unlock US$450 billion in global economic value by 2028, but only 2% of organisations have scaled their deployment so far. The Middle East is focusing on operationalising AI securely and at scale, with initiatives like Outworks' Sprint 30 programme facilitating rapid, governed AI agent integration within 30 days.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents, and 1 source has reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now accelerate AI agent deployments under 30 days with governance and security built in, opening access to markets prioritising data control and operational AI. Your rivals stuck in pilots risk falling behind as live AI productivity gains become standard.
