5/29/25, 5:06 PM UAE's $3.7 billion tech economy takes spotlight in Berlin at inaugural GITEX EUROPE
Mansouri shared insights on the aerospace evolution in a media briefing, "Artificial

intelligence in space is something that we are experimenting with. For example,

Simon, a floating robot, and making the lunar gateway, the space station more

autonomous, because it's not going to be inhabited all the time."

Organised by Digital Dubai, the Dubai Pavilion highlights the city's AI-powered

evolution and advanced public services featuring 12 key government and private

entities, including, Digital Dubai, Dubai Police, General Directorate of Identity and

Foreigners Affairs (GDIFA), Dubai Civil Defense, DIFC Courts, the Dubai

Electronic Security Center, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, Dubai

Customs, Dubai Future Foundation, and Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre

(MBRSC), alongside e& and Emaratech as Platinum Partners.

Among the top innovations on show include the Dubai Dashboard, a unified city-

wide platform offering a 360-degree view of data and indicators across various city

sectors; alongside the Dubai Monitor, DubaiNow, Smart Employee, and UAE

PASS, the national digital ID that enables secure identity verification for citizens

through facial recognition tech. Dubai Police presented its autonomous policing

ecosystem including Ghaith, a smart patrol car. Also on showcase was Salama, an

AI-powered platform that streamlines Dubai's residency services with automated

renewals and instant visa assistance - making government interaction seamless and

future-ready.

Younus Al Nasser, Chief Executive, Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment,

Digital Dubai, noted: "AI must be treated not as a tool to deploy but as a solution to

integrate-strategically, ethically and sustainably. At Digital Dubai, we've learned

that balancing innovation with accountability means aligning exploration with clear

national outcomes. Whether adopting off-the-shelf AI models or investing in

sovereign systems, the key lies in speed, agility and our ability to remain globally

connected. These are Dubai's greatest strengths - rapid execution and ecosystem-

wide collaboration that turn AI potential into real-world public value."
