Today, we invest in national talents with the aim of seeing them distinguished leaders in the future within our group or

in other organisations, contributing to the UAE’s global competitiveness and leadership. At Al-Futtaim, we take great
pride in this long-standing commitment to nurturing local talent, empowering them with the skills and experiences

needed to lead the future and further reinforce the UAE’s position at the forefront.”

start of a practical and forward-looking partnership. Together, we will use our combined expertise to strengthen an
ecosystem that can adapt to and shape the finance sector’s future. This is part of a wider network of collaborations

that feed into our Future Foresight Centre, where we actively explore multiple future scenarios — whether they

involve rapid technological advances, new regulatory landscapes, or evolving economic priorities — and develop
strategies that turn these possibilities into opportunities for growth, innovation, and long-term stability.”

The fair comes in line with national efforts to invest in youth potential and support their participation in shaping the

future of key sectors that underpin the UAE’s knowledge economy and sustainable development agenda.
