The session saw Al Hajri provide a glimpse of the ideas and vision of His
Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum beginning with the

inception of Emirates airline. This venture was an example of how dreams could
become substantial business opportunities, with the company standing as the

largest air carrier in the world today.

“Our visionary leaders established Dubai Internet City at a time when the Internet
had not yet received widespread attention or consideration. With this endeavour,
the largest Information and Communication Technology (ICT) community in the

region was formed. His Highness also oversaw the establishment of the Dubai
Media City, enhancing Dubai's standing as a major hub for media operations

both locally and internationally. Additionally, through the establishment of the
Dubai International Financial Centre, His Highness created a crucial financial
services link between the region and international markets, once again elevating

our country’s standing as a dynamic hub of progress," Al Hajri added.

Dubai Municipality and Innovative Opportunities

Al Hajri elaborated on Dubai Municipality's strategy for leveraging artificial
intelligence solutions and incorporating them into various aspects of municipal

work. This goal is consistent with its vision of becoming a leading municipality
within a globally renowned city, dedicated to driving innovation and sustainability,

as well as overall quality of life as a whole.

Al Hajri stated, “Governments constantly must deal with high resident
expectations and work hard to meet these rapidly changing demands.
Considering this, Dubai Municipality has adopted a proactive stance by using

artificial intelligence technologies for urban planning, such as (Urbanist AI).
These tools assist planners in generating solutions tailored to urban

environments, thereby facilitating accurate changes and advancements, along
with significant savings in time and costs.”
