on World Creativity and Innovation Day

20 April, 2026 - “World Creativity and Innovation Day underscores the vital role of

innovation in achieving sustainable development goals. It highlights the importance of
empowering innovators and creative individuals, enabling them to turn ambitions into

achievements and ideas into success stories that drive national growth and societal
progress.

This occasion holds particular significance for our nation; guided by the forward-

looking vision and the wisdom of its leadership, the United Arab Emirates continues

to strengthen its leading global role in fostering innovation and leveraging it as a driver
of sustainable economic and social development. In doing so, our beloved nation has

been successfully transforming challenges into opportunities and placing innovation
at the heart of its strategies, staying ahead of changes and shaping a more prosperous

future.

On this international occasion, we at the Supreme Legislation Committee in the
Emirate of Dubai (SLC) reaffirm our commitment to advancing our institutional

mission of building a robust legislative framework that empowers innovators and
nurtures creativity. We also reiterate our dedication to fulfilling our national

responsibilities by supporting the UAE’s ambitious development vision and further
strengthening its position as a global hub for innovation and creativity.”
