The agreement aims to enhance cooperation and expand partnerships that contribute to supporting research, exchanging experiences and opinions, as well as developing scientific and practical propositions in the innovation field and implementing them on the ground. Well-aligned with global developments and focused on addressing core challenges, the initiatives aim to identify innovative and technological solutions to step up government preparedness for the future and significantly improve performance to enhance the quality of life of their populations.
Omar Al Olama noted that the UAE government, under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is committed to promoting scientific research and adopting developmental ideas that serve to stimulate innovation and create effective solutions to challenges – ultimately, ensuring a positive impact on government work.
He added that fostering greater cooperation, coordination, and the exchange of experiences and development visions with governments and private sector institutions is a core priority of the World Government Summit. The Summit seeks to explore new opportunities and innovative solutions to support governments’ efforts in preparing for the next phase.
This effort requires new ideas that meet aspirations, improve performance and strengthen the future government work model.
He added that signing the partnership agreement comes within the framework of expanding the World Government Summit's partnerships with the government and private sector to promote the exchange of experiences in various fields in a bid to design the best solutions and initiatives to support the shaping of future governments.

And in line with the directives of our wise leadership, the ATRC and TII seek to promote the advanced technology agenda, and work on building and reinforcing the UAE’s leadership in this important field. Following the successful completion of our first year of operations, we look forward to ensuring even greater prosperity and progress in our innovation and exploration path for the next phase of growth."
