Agentic AI & UAE E-Invoicing: Key Highlights From Our Exclusive Webinar
The UAE is moving rapidly toward one of the biggest digital compliance transformations in its history, the nationwide E-Invoicing mandate, set to begin rolling out in 2026. With businesses across the Emirates gearing up for this shift, Bricks Technologies and COVORO AI hosted an exclusive and highly interactive webinar.
“Agentic AI Meets E-Invoicing: The Future of Value-Driven Compliance in the UAE.”
The session brought together CFOs, finance leaders, tax professionals, and digital transformation teams who wanted clarity, direction, and practical insights. If you couldn’t join us live, here’s a detailed look at the key themes we explored and why the full session is absolutely worth watching.
1. The Global Push Toward E-Invoicing And What It Means for the UAE
We began the session by looking at the global compliance landscape. More than 75 countries have now adopted digital invoicing mandates, and the trend is accelerating each year. Nations such as Saudi Arabia, India, Singapore, Italy, France, and Malaysia have already implemented real-time or near-real-time reporting systems to reduce tax gaps and improve revenue visibility.
This global shift is important because it signals where the UAE is headed: a standardized, automated, real-time tax ecosystem where invoices are validated and exchanged securely through government-backed digital networks.
The audience particularly appreciated the comparison between global models and the UAE’s chosen path, which stands out for its PEPPOL-based 5-corner framework, focus on secure identity exchange, and real-time reporting structure.
This global-context segment set the tone for the rest of the webinar. The UAE is not just catching up; it is building one of the most modern compliance architectures in the region.
2. A Closer Look at the UAE’s E-Invoicing Mandate
Next, we explored what the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and Federal Tax Authority (FTA) are aiming to achieve with the UAE’s e-invoicing initiative.
Rather than diving into technical diagrams, we focused on the practical business implications:Participants expressed their appreciation for clarity on who must comply with deploying the EIS (E-Invoicing System) by what date, which helped them to factor in the timeline for the project, resources needed, and subsequently, their integration.
One of the more interesting conversations involved the UAE's 5-corner DCTCE model, which operates quite differently from many other direct-reporting models in other countries, where invoices are not simply sent directly to the government; they instead move through an approved and secure network of Access Points capable of interoperability, validation, and seamless buyer-to-seller invoice exchanges.
This session represented a tremendous insight that the participants will be able to visualize invoice flows more likely in 2026 and beyond, without presenting the group with too many technical details.
3. Agentic AI: The Next Big Leap in Compliance Automation
This was the centerpiece of the session and the part that generated the most excitement.
While most businesses are familiar with OCR, RPA, or rule-based automation, Agentic AI is a fundamentally different model. We explored how it enables:What resonated most with attendees was how Agentic AI reduces manual intervention by up to 80–85%, dramatically freeing up finance teams while ensuring higher compliance accuracy.
Leaders from retail, trading, construction, manufacturing, and professional services asked thoughtful questions about handling multiple invoice formats, reducing approval delays, and preparing internal teams for autonomous workflows.
4. The Covoro Difference: Unified Compliance, Powered by AI
The webinar also showcased what sets COVORO apart as a compliance and automation ecosystem, especially in multi-country environments like:
