Abu Dhabi: A two-day exhibition that highlights Emirati inventions and inventors will be organised in the capital next week alongside the Global Summit of Women Speakers of Parliament.
The Exhibition of the Future will see the participation of 15 government and private institutions, and will showcase the UAE’s leading international role in shaping the future, innovation and the creation of smart cities.
“This exhibition complements the summit’s agenda through the initiatives it embraces, since the summit will support scientific research and will discuss ideas and mechanisms to develop the sciences, share research, and enhance international innovation efforts and support of the Emirati youth,” said Dr Amal Abdullah Al Qubaisi, Speaker of the Federal National Council.
Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy, said the exhibition represents a valuable addition to enhance the achievements of the upcoming summit. He added that the UAE is one of the world’s leading countries that has adopted trends in science, technology, economy, and human development, and is continuously working to bridge theory and practice through several leading initiatives and investments.
Al Mansouri said that the ministry always aims to provide Emirati inventors with an enabling platform which links them to the elite group of patent owners registered at the ministry. Such engagement will also help Emirati innovators to access international platforms where they can showcase their projects and inventions.
Dr Sultan Ahmad Al Jaber, Minister of State and Adnoc Group CEO, said the Global Summit of Women Speakers of Parliament provides a timely opportunity to exchange ideas and create actionable recommendations to capitalise on the trends that are reshaping our economies and societies. Effectively responding to these trends will play a pivotal role in delivering a sustainable future, he added.
Saif Al Aleeli, chief executive officer at the Dubai Future Foundation, said working proactively to find sustainable solutions for the challenges that face societies is the driving force and main objective of the Dubai Future Foundation.
“The foundation aspires to build partnerships and strengthen its cooperation with individuals and institutions around the world in an effort to lay solid foundations for a better future for the coming generations. To that end, we work to develop plans, set strategies, and launch initiatives that prepare us for the future, and truly establish Dubai as a model city for the future,” he said.
