“Through this fair, Emirates Foundation seeks to motivate UAE youth to innovate and develop their scientific interests, which will affect their future preferences and career aspirations,” said Shaikh Sultan bin Tahnoon.
“This initiative can be a driving force for all authorities and institutions to perform in the same framework, answering to the local market needs; and to set mechanisms that manage to attract youth and qualified national talents to their cadres.” Thousands of Emirati scientists are needed to fill positions in the UAE workplace, particularly the private sector, in diverse sectors such as nuclear engineering, aeronautical engineering, energy and IT. He called on all authorities and institutions and the nation’s media to contribute to the journey of early discovery of scientific Emirati talents.
