Olive Green Academy Launches in The Sustainable City: UAE’s First Platform Empowering Influencers through Sustainability and AI

A pioneering new platform in the UAE is revolutionizing the influencer landscape by merging sustainability and artificial intelligence (AI). Olive Green Academy (OGA) officially launched at the esteemed SEE Institute in The Sustainable City, Dubai, marking the region’s first influencer academy focused on environmental advocacy powered by AI.

OGA’s mission is to reshape how influencers approach content creation by fostering authentic, purpose-driven brands that prioritize sustainability. The academy blends cutting-edge AI technologies with expert knowledge on sustainability, helping content creators navigate the complexities of these fields and leverage them to inspire global change.

As AI continues to evolve, many are unsure of its full potential. OGA aims to lead this conversation, highlighting how AI, when used responsibly, can amplify efforts to tackle global challenges such as climate change. Through its innovative approach, OGA seeks to ensure that AI works in harmony with humanity’s best interests, empowering influencers to use their platforms for positive impact.

The launch event featured a dynamic panel discussion with some of the UAE’s most prominent influencers and digital creators. The session focused on the role of influencers in promoting environmental awareness and how content can serve as a force for good in an era of growing climate urgency and technological advancements.

OGA has identified a gap in the influencer industry, where a need for responsible content creation is paramount. To bridge this gap, OGA introduces a unique model that combines networking opportunities, specialized training, and hands-on initiatives. These programs are designed to equip influencers with the knowledge and tools to create meaningful, sustainable content that drives real-world change.

"At OGA, we believe that influencers and content creators have the power to inspire real environmental action," said Nadeen Ayoub, co-founder of OGA. "Our academy is not just about growing audiences; it’s about growing impact. With the rise of AI, we can now harness this tool to help create positive change in the world."

OGA offers a variety of professional courses, accredited by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), catering to both seasoned professionals and aspiring influencers. Among the academy’s flagship programs are the Certified Sustainability Content Creator and the Professional Certificate in Sustainability Communication. These programs teach participants how to transform sustainability topics into engaging content, utilize AI tools for enhanced production and reach, and develop reports that align with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards.

With its launch, OGA sets a new standard for the intersection of media, technology, and advocacy, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global leader in sustainability and innovation.
