Dubai: The Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation (MBRCGI) has launched the “UAE Innovates Exhibition” at Dubai’s Global Village as part of “UAE Innovates 2023.”
The exhibition, which runs until February 26, focuses on sustainability and includes several impactful innovations from the government sector. The latest innovations of local and federal government agencies, including innovations relating to sustainability launched in 2023, are displayed at the event.
The exhibition further includes a group of innovative products that Emirati talents have designed and produced specifically for “UAE Innovates 2023.” The products are labelled “Made for UAE Innovates.”
The UAE government seeks to promote a culture of innovation within government, society, and the economy. UAE Innovates’ activities are critical to these efforts and represent an entry point for entrepreneurs to get involved in government innovation. A key goal shared by UAE Innovates and Global Village is to link cultures and enhance cooperation and integration. We can achieve this by providing platforms to showcase the most impactful innovations and highlight their importance to the rest of society.
