The creation of the museum reflects Sheikh Mohammed's vision that a new approach is required for fast-moving, dynamic, and uncertain times to create long-lasting innovations that benefit both organisations and society. Design-led and future-orientated experimentation is an increasingly essential capability for governments and the private sector. It is founded on the concept that the best way to create these innovations is through forward-looking, design-led technology, experimentation and prototyping—Picture taken in October 2018.
