Dubai Future Foundation launches Country in Residence programme in AREA 2071
AREA 2071 - an initiative of Dubai Future Foundation - has launched the 'Country in Residence' programme, the first of its kind in the world, to promote global collaborations. The programme is held under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of Dubai Executive Council and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Dubai Future Foundation. Commenting on the launch of the new programme, Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of Dubai Future Foundation, said that AREA 2071’s programme serves as a global strategic platform for the UAE and participating countries to strengthen the foundation’s efforts towards building effective collaborations that ultimately accelerates the pace of innovation, enables the adoption of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and embraces knowledge sharing through the export and import of global knowledge and innovation.
Belhoul highlighted that the launch of the programme is a strong addition to AREA 2071 as it serves to achieve its objectives to encourage collaboration, foster talent as well as enable an innovative agile ecosystem. The programme is one-step closer to achieving the UAE Centennial Plan, which is to position the UAE as the leading nation by 2071.
Through sharing of knowledge and best practices, the programme will allow participating countries to work closely with governments, private sectors and AREA 2071’s dynamic ecosystem to address future challenges and co-create it for the betterment of humanity.
It provides business, diplomatic and cultural delegations and investors exclusive access to UAE based opportunities. Moreover, it provides representatives from participating countries the opportunity to connect with government entities, international organisations, private sectors, startups, business leaders, scientists and experts in the region.
