Context

Mongolia's Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Communications signed a three-year memorandum of understanding with Oracle to build AI and big-data skills across government, industry and higher education, part of the country's 'Digital First' policy and National Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Strategy (66 projects over five years, initiated January 2025).

Activities

On the education side, the programme commits to preparing 1,000 student 'AI Ambassadors' and, by 2027, funding 300 master's and doctoral students across 100 AI-related research topics, using curriculum built with Oracle Academy and Oracle University, delivered hybrid to narrow the rural-urban digital divide across the country's 21 provinces. The same MoU also targets 60,000 public servants and 10,000 workers in vulnerable sectors for broader digital upskilling.

Conclusions

Mongolia's national news agency confirms the 1,000-ambassador and 300-scholarship targets, but as of writing these are funding and training commitments with 2026-2027 deadlines, not yet-measured outcomes.
