It will be located at the Technology and Innovation Hub.
The MoIAT Pavilion, it said, will aim to foster collaborative efforts towards climate-related targets in line with the National Strategy for Industry and Advanced Technology objectives, the UAE’s commitment to global climate action, and Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
MoIAT shared that it will host Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), Emirates Development Bank (EDB), Ducab, BEEAH, Dubai Industrial City, Majra, SHERAA, Hub71, Huawei, Emerson, UMI Universal Materials Incubator, Automotive Precision Technology (APT), ThreeEightSix, Pasqal, Ohmium and other startups.
The Pavilion will also showcase “cutting-edge” climate technologies and capabilities with the potential to expedite the journey towards achieving Net Zero.
Global stakeholders, it shared, will also have the opportunity to explore green business opportunities under the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ initiative.
Visitors will engage in dialogues and knowledge exchange sessions to gain insights into the latest trends in climate technologies. The initiative will also motivate technology and industrial companies from across the globe to develop new technologies from the UAE as a base.
H.E. Sarah Al Amiri, Minister of State for Public Education and Advanced Technology, said: “We are proud to be a part of what is poised to be the most inclusive COP gathering to date, a COP of action. Innovation is an enabler of inclusive, equitable and sustainable growth.
