Sheikh Mohammed Reflects on 25 Years of Technological Transformation with Dubai Internet City

A quarter of a century, the golden dream of Dubai that aims to attain a city powered by technology and innovation germinated with the establishment of Dubai Internet City a pioneer and reformative project which was initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister, and ruler of Dubai. This step represented the first cornerstone of Dubai’s plan to build a knowledge-based economy where technology forms the foundation of growth, media and e-commerce not only for Dubai but throughout the entire region.

Considering such remarkable progress, Sheikh Mohammed noted that the future has just begun and the nation was instrumental in shaping the newer-generation world of advanced technology where young people are reaping benefits. He emphasized the need for future-based planning where he said only those countries that will look at changes that are likely to happen in the future shall be those that will in fact direct the future.

What was at the back of Dubai Internet City, has come to pass as Dubai become the melting pot for innovation and technology that it is today. This great spirit developed during years made Dubai not only the leading figure in such industries as e-commerce and digitalization, but also gave other countries an example of possible successful development while people understand that anticipation and preparedness make life and future better.
