Dubai
Future Labs (DFL), an initiative of Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), has signed
three agreements with Emirates airline, DP World and Dnata to bring
about innovation in the fields of aviation and logistics.
The
signing ceremony was witnessed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of
Dubai and chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai.
The partnerships will help to “deploy future technologies to drive innovation in our aviation and logistics sectors”, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed said in a tweet on Sunday.
“We continue to advance Dubai's leadership in robotics and automation technologies”, said Sheikh Hamdan, who is also the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation.
The partnerships aim to activate the Dubai Robotics and Automation Programme that was launched in September to support the emirate's transition towards the future economy, the Dubai Media Office said.
“These three partnerships will contribute to strengthening Dubai and the UAE’s position as a living laboratory for advanced technologies and innovations,” said Omar Al Olama, Minister of State for Digital Economy, AI and Remote Working System, and deputy managing director of the Dubai Future Foundation.
Dubai has been accelerating efforts to support the development of its future economy.
