The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT),

represented by Abu Dhabi Mobility (AD Mobility), signed

a memorandum of understanding with Regent Craft to

provide low-hovering maritime transport for both

passenger and freight transport, accelerating the

establishment of an integrated transport system and

supporting goals aiming to reduce carbon emissions.

Namir Hourani, Managing Director of GMOLx, the

organiser of DRIFTx said, “This week, some of the

world’s most forward-thinking leaders and brightest

minds convened at DRIFTx in Abu Dhabi, unlocking

extremely important and high-level discussions that are

sure to shape the way people and goods are

transported, with advanced solutions that will be

operational much sooner than anyone expected. Across

the two days, we had an impressive speaker lineup,

unique exhibitions, and very exciting live

demonstrations, truly displaying what the future of

urban air, land, and sea mobility is going to be like. We’re

already looking forward to building on the energy and

amazing vibe we witnessed this week to inspire another

round of real-world breakthroughs at DRIFTx 2025.”
