In his address, Nasser Al Neyadi explained that the launch of the academy is in line with the
transformation of government work, especially as we move into the digital era and increasingly
adopt artificial intelligence in government services. This shift requires improving employee skills to
meet the demands of evolving global trade, investment, and logistics services.

Dr. Busenad noted that the Dubai Logistics Academy will contribute to nurturing and developing
talent through an innovative academic and professional approach for both citizens and residents.
This initiative, launched by Dubai Customs as part of the "33 Path," includes specialised curricula
and accredited scholarships, supporting the objectives of Dubai's Economic Agenda. Global data
and trends in the global economy underline the continuous growth of the logistics sector, requiring
a forward-thinking vision and groundbreaking initiatives to keep pace with this rapid development.

The academy’s initiatives aim not only to stimulate investment but also to serve as a cornerstone
for fostering a knowledge-based national economy and solidifying Dubai’s position as a leading
global hub in this vital sector.

Al Falasi congratulated Dubai Customs on its initiatives, noting that the academy will play a vital
role in supporting Emiratisation by training, qualifying, and investing in local talent. He described
the launch of the Dubai Logistics Academy as a significant step in enhancing the professional and
intellectual capabilities of the logistics sector, further emphasizing that human development is a
cornerstone of progress. The academy will also help reinforce Dubai’s reputation as a leading
global trade hub.
To conclude the event, logistics companies and Dubai University were honoured as strategic
partners of Dubai Customs for their valuable contributions to the creation of the Dubai Logistics
Academy, a key foundation for advancing professional skills in the growing economic sectors.
