The APH Research team has launched the MENA AI Readiness Survey 2026, our most comprehensive assessment yet of artificial intelligence adoption, challenges, and opportunities across the Middle East and North Africa region.
This annual survey benchmarks AI maturity across industries, company sizes, and geographic markets. We’re seeking input from C-suite executives, technology leaders, and AI practitioners to understand current implementation status, investment priorities, and barriers to adoption.
The survey covers critical dimensions including data infrastructure readiness, talent availability, regulatory environment, use case identification, and ROI measurement. We’ve refined our methodology based on three years of regional research to ensure findings reflect the unique context of MENA markets.
Participating organizations receive exclusive early access to the full research findings, including detailed benchmarking data for their industry and market. The aggregate results will inform policy recommendations, investment decisions, and strategic planning across the region.
Survey responses are completely confidential and anonymized in all published reports. The questionnaire takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and can be saved and resumed if needed.
Past survey findings have influenced government AI strategies, shaped corporate investment decisions, and identified critical skill gaps for educational institutions to address. Your participation helps build a comprehensive picture of AI readiness across MENA.
The survey closes on March 15, 2026. Complete results will be published in our Q2 2026 Regional AI Report. Take the survey now to contribute your organization’s perspective and receive the benchmarking insights.
