LAS VEGAS, 9th January, 2025 (WAM) — The United Arab Emirates and the United States continue to explore
avenues for strengthening their strategic cooperation in advanced technology and innovation.

During his participation at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, a premier global technology event held in Las Vegas, Dr.
Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, met with senior US officials and business
leaders.

These discussions emphasised the UAE’s dedication to strengthening technology ties with the US and
solidifying its status as a global hub for innovation, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced technologies.

The UAE’s delegation includes government officials and business leaders.

During his visit, Al Zeyoudi engaged with senior US officials, including Nevada Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony,
and representatives from the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development, the US Chamber of
Commerce, and the Las Vegas Chamber.

Discussions centred on enhancing long-term UAE-US technology partnerships, exploring collaborative
opportunities, and promoting the UAE’s value proposition, which includes state-of-the-art infrastructure, a
skilled talent pool, and a business-friendly ecosystem that serves as a gateway to rapidly growing markets in the
Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

Al Zeyoudi said, “The UAE’s dynamic tech ecosystem, bolstered by initiatives like NextGen FDI, offers fresh
opportunities for US companies looking to scale their operations and access high-growth markets. Total UAE
investment in the US already tops $35 billion, and officials from both countries are working together to create
additional opportunities for businesses and investors. As we expand our partnerships in advanced technology, we
aim to foster innovation, create jobs, and accelerate the adoption of next-generation technologies.”

Additionally, Al Zeyoudi participated in a panel discussion on current geopolitical trends and challenges,
providing a positive outlook on global trade and highlighting the UAE’s role in bridging markets and facilitating
seamless trade flows. He highlighted that, through its Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA)
programme, the UAE is actively expanding trade ties and fostering greater connectivity with strategic global
markets.
