# Office of AI Transformation — Global University > Global University's Office of AI Transformation is Lebanon's applied artificial intelligence center. We deliver the credentialed AI Diploma, corporate training workshops, custom AI software and web application development, and strategic AI consulting to enterprises, universities, and schools across the Middle East. Founded within Global University in Beirut, the Office exists to bridge academic AI research and real-world enterprise application. It is led by Dr. Nabil Mneymneh, Director of the Office of AI Transformation. The Office operates as a public-facing hub rather than an internal cost center, serving clients across Lebanon, the GCC, and the wider region. All services are delivered in English, Arabic, and French. ## Core services - [AI Academy](https://globaluni.ai/services/ai-academy): credentialed AI Diploma, corporate training workshops ("AI for Executives", "AI for Marketing & Sales", "Prompt Engineering Fundamentals"), and in-service programs for K-12 teachers and university faculty. - [AI Software & Web App Development](https://globaluni.ai/services/software-development): custom enterprise web applications, LLM integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and two flagship products shipping today — the University Management System (UMS) and Tamakkan. - [AI Consultation](https://globaluni.ai/services/ai-consultation): AI readiness assessments, strategic roadmap development, governance and risk advisory, and ROI modeling.
