growth.
Abdulla bin Zayed Al Falasi, said, “Signing this MoU during GITEX GLOBAL represents a significant step forward on multiple fronts. It reflects
a forward-looking vision that combines institutional innovation and strategic collaboration to drive meaningful progress in developing national
capabilities and localising advanced skillsets. Hosting the signing ceremony at GITEX, which is the region’s leading technology event, also
highlights the critical role such global events play in transforming national strategies into actionable outcomes. By focusing on key areas like
artificial intelligence, big data, and cybersecurity, such partnerships can support the preparation of a skilled Emirati workforce ready to lead
the future economy.”
He added, "This MoU paves the way for a long-term strategic collaboration that extends beyond job creation. It sets a comprehensive
framework that involves continuous training, knowledge transfer, and the development of a strong innovation ecosystem to support the
sustained professional growth of Emirati talent in Dubai. This integrated approach aligns with the UAE’s vision of positioning Emiratisation as
a key driver in the shift toward a knowledge-based economy, where national talent is at the forefront of shaping the country's future.”
Ali Al Mansoori, Group Chief People Officer at e&, stated, "Empowering national talent is central to our long-term strategy, as it forms the
foundation of our nation's digital transformation and innovation journey. This partnership with EHRDC reflects our strong commitment to
supporting Emiratisation, not only by creating high-quality job opportunities but also by investing in skills development. Our goal is to prepare
youth for the future by equipping them with expertise in advanced areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital economy. In
doing so, we aim to enhance their contribution to building a sustainable, knowledge-driven economy."
