ABU DHABI, 5th February, 2025 (WAM) -- Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for
Foreign Trade, has underscored the transformative role of advanced technologies — particularly
artificial intelligence (AI) — in driving a new era of smarter, faster, and more efficient global trade
and how the UAE is taking the lead on their implementation.

Speaking at the inaugural Plug and Play Middle East Summit, an event that brought together
industry pioneers, government officials, and investors to showcase innovations shaping the
economy of tomorrow, Dr. Al Zeyoudi emphasised the urgent need for the international trading
community to harness the power of startups and release the value that is being locked away by
outdated systems and human-centric processes.
