His Highness Sheikh Mansoor toured the exhibition accompanied by Her Excellency Hessa bint
Essa Buhumaid, Director General of the Community Development Authority (CDA) in Dubai,
exploring a host of international and local pavilions.

During the tour, His Highness visited the stands of several leading international companies
specialising in empowering People of Determination, exploring the latest technological innovations
and dedicated services for their welfare. He reviewed the latest products from China’s Changzhou
Wonsh Ramp Industry, learning how their designs safely and effectively meet the needs of People of
Determination. At the American company AccessRec’s pavilion, he was apprised about advanced
solutions aimed at improving accessibility in various environments.

His Highness also explored innovations from Canada’s TrySight Inc, which provides assistive
devices and technologies for the visually impaired, and visited the pavilion of the UK’s Deal
Progress, which focuses on developing innovative rehabilitation products and services.

His Highness Sheikh Mansoor also visited the pavilions of Dubai Municipality, RTA, Dubai Airports,
the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs, Dubai Police, CDA, and the Dubai Health
Authority, learning about the products and services showcased at the event.

His Highness also visited pavilions of Dubai Duty Free, Emirates Airlines, Ministry of Family,
Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, and
the Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination.

The exhibition showcases cutting-edge technologies catering to a wide spectrum of physical,
visual, auditory, intellectual, and autism-related disabilities. The World Health Organization notes
that only one in ten people who need assistive technology currently have access to it, often due to
high costs or a shortage of trained personnel. By 2030, over two billion people are expected to
require at least one assistive device, with the global market projected to reach approximately $47.1
billion by 2031.

Among the key innovations at the 7th edition of the exhibition, several technological aids debuting
in the region include AI-powered smart glasses providing real-time translation and visual support
for the visually impaired, advanced bionic limbs that replicate natural movement to enhance
independence, smartphone apps linking People of Determination to specialised transport services,
real-time voice and text recognition tools for the deaf and hard of hearing, and digital solutions that
support innovative learning and communication for individuals on the autism spectrum.
