What could this mean for the future of emergency response? We speak with Major Eng. Ali Almadfaei, Head of Advanced Solutions and Emerging Technologies at Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority.

Emirates will become the world’s largest operator of Starlink-enabled aircraft — with plans to begin rolling out high-speed satellite Wi-Fi on its fleet starting next year. 

The UAE has announced plans to build its very own research base in Antarctica — the first of its kind for the region. We talk about the UAE Polar Programme with H.E. Dr Abdulla Almandous, President of World Meteorological Organization and the Director General of the National Centre of Meteorology. 

From AI to clean water, to prosthetics and planetary health — students from across the world are here in Dubai this week, showing what’s possible when science meets purpose.

And we speak to one company leading the charge when it comes to innovation and health.
