Innovators come together to create a phenomenal future... Last year, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, launched a seven-year National Innovation Strategy. It’s purpose? Ensuring the UAE ranks among the top countries in innovation by the UAE’s golden jubilee in 2021. Yesterday, the wheels on this plan of action were set rolling in the first UAE Innovation Week, which will end on November 28. On social media, UAE residents shared their support and excitement.
