Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, stated that empowering a new generation of Emiratis with future-ready skills and the ability to harness them in service of the nation is a cornerstone of the UAE's strategy to build a sustainable, knowledge-based economy.

Empowered with education, knowledge, and the ability to turn ideas into meaningful achievements, these young talents are vital enablers of development and key to strengthening the UAE's position regionally and globally.

"Our wise leadership has always prioritised investing in minds before resources, recognising that people are the most enduring and impactful strategic asset. The innovations emerging across various national sectors today clearly demonstrate that Emiratis are not only keeping pace with global technological progress but are also at the forefront of leading and shaping it," he stated.

Sheikh Hamdan made these remarks during a meeting with over 100 outstanding participants in the “Al Nokhba Programme,” organised by the National Service and Reserve Authority under the patronage and presence of Major General Pilot Sheikh Ahmed Bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces.
