               The UAE aims to rank among the top 10 countries globally for talent attraction and retention within
               seven years, currently holding the 22nd position. Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State
               for Foreign Trade and Minister in charge of Talent Attraction and Retention, shared this goal at the
               International Government Communication Forum (IGCF) 2024. The forum, themed ‘Agile
               Governments.. Innovative Communication,’ is taking place on September 4-5, 2024, at Expo Centre
               Sharjah.

               Dr Al Zeyoudi highlighted the UAE's efforts over the past three years to establish specialist
               committees for talent attraction. He also mentioned changes in visa and immigration systems as
               key factors. The stability, security, and safety provided by the UAE further enhance its appeal to
               potential residents. "The UAE is using education as a tool to attract talent at an early age," he noted,
               referencing how countries like Australia and Denmark attract students interested in specialty
               subjects.
