ِِAbu Dhabi, Business News: His Excellency Eng. Ahmed Mohammed Al Rumaithi, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE), stressed that innovation fuels sustainable development in the UAE and is the key to ensuring the community’s prosperity and forecasting the future.
Speaking on the launch of UAE Innovates 2022, H.E. noted: “The UAE is committed to positioning itself as a global hub for innovation, lending its support to all efforts to develop key economic sectors and ensure their competitiveness now and in the future. Innovation undoubtedly plays a leading role in the energy sector and sustainability ambitions in the UAE, particularly in light of the tremendous challenges the world is going through with climate change. The UAE has taken the lead in efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 – an objective that calls for multiplying efforts and coming up with new technologies in various energy-related fields, most notably renewable energy and carbon capture technology, among others. This, in turn, helps reduce carbon emissions and meet Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s climate and environmental commitments.”
“Innovation begins when a person takes the first steps in their education journey; it should be embraced as a mantra throughout the educational system in order to empower the youth to find unconventional solutions to various challenges and to promote sustainable development,” H.E. added. “This, in turn, will secure the UAE’s interests in the short and long terms. We are confident in the Emirates’ ability, under its wise leadership, to pave the way into the future by channelling human energies towards achieving its key objectives.
