BAKU, Azerbaijan (MNTV) – An Artificial Intelligence Academy will be established in Azerbaijan as part of a comprehensive strategy to enhance talent and skills in AI.
The initiative is outlined in the “Artificial Intelligence Strategy for 2025–2028,” approved by President Ilham Aliyev.
The strategy aims to position Azerbaijan as a regional leader in AI development by fostering collaboration with top global institutions and building a robust AI community.
Key components of the plan include partnering with at least two top-ranked foreign universities (ranked in the top 10 globally) between 2026 and 2027, training 500 AI engineers, and forming an AI community of 3,000 individuals.

This ambitious strategy underscores Azerbaijan’s commitment to advancing its capabilities in artificial intelligence, fostering innovation, and preparing its workforce for the demands of the digital economy.
By investing in education, collaboration, and community-building, the country aims to become a hub for AI development and expertise in the region.
