UAE Innovates 2022 begins tomorrow: Fire-fighting robot to government services in 3D

A remote-controlled vehicle used for securing events and smart government services offered in 3D would be among the several projects that will be showcased, as the month-long UAE Innovates begins tomorrow.

All seven emirates will showcase their most novel offerings during one of the largest innovation festivals in the world.

Overseen by the Mohammed bin Rashid Centre of Government Innovation (MBRCGI), UAE Innovates 2022 will engage federal and local government entities, the private sector, academia, and community members in “futureproof initiatives that improve wellbeing and help create more resilient government models”.

Huda Al Hashimi, Deputy Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Strategic Affairs, said: "The UAE Government is keen to consolidate innovation across all vital sectors. The nationwide festival will embrace creative ideas and innovations, and engage the community through projects, and initiatives. UAE Innovates 2022 includes events taking place at Expo 2020 Dubai.”

The Expo will host more than 60 dedicated events. One of the main installations will be an MBRCGI exhibition at Festival Garden, where innovative government experiences will be highlighted.
