How is UAE attracting new talents in advanced technology?

WAM

The UAE government adopts an incubator environment for advanced technology to attract talents and empower them to build their skills and experiences.

Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Teleworking Applications, talked about UAE's initiative at the Web Summit 2021 held in Lisbon, Portugal.

The incubator environment also allows them to create solutions and work mechanisms supported by artificial intelligence (AI).

Al Olama said that the UAE government believes in the importance of AI in making the future and is aware of the challenges involved in this rapidly developing sector.

He further added that the UAE had built the capacities of 300 Emirati professionals to spread AI knowledge in their departments.

He told the summit about the UAE's initiatives to use and deploy AI and digital economy solutions in vital sectors such as oil and gas and the ten principles which will lead the UAE's path for the next 50 years.

The summit gathered the founders and CEOs of technology companies, fast-growing start-ups, policymakers, and heads of state, to ask a simple question: Where to next?

It has brought together more than 104,000 people from 170 countries, including 1,130 speakers, 2,000 start-ups, and 1,000 investors, to redefine the tech industry.
