reflect EDB’s unique approach: building a diverse, inclusive workplace culture while preserving

a clear focus on Emiratisation and national talent development, an approach that has earned
EDB recognition as the first local bank in the UAE to be certified as a Great Place to Work®,

underscoring how its culture resonates with the aspirations of today’s youth.

Commenting on the Bank’s participation, Dr. Abeer Al Sumaiti, Chief Human Resources Officer

at EDB, said: “At EDB, graduates don’t just enter banking, they enter the front lines of the
UAE’s industrial and economic transformation. Ru’ya Careers is about showing young nationals

that their careers can create real impact, from financing factories to building the nation’s food
security, from supporting tech startups to enabling clean energy projects. These are careers

with purpose, and they are open to the next generation of Emiratis.”

At Ru’ya Careers UAE 2025, EDB will showcase career opportunities, share success stories from
its graduate and leadership programmes, and invite Emirati youth to be part of the UAE’s next
chapter of growth.
