Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman & CEO of DP World, Chairman of the Ports, Customs & Free Zone Corporation, Chairman of Hyperloop One said,

60 years ago, Dubai was a tiny village, now it stands as a bustling metropolis. A global gateway of trade to a region of 3.5 billion people.

I was honoured to give the keynote address at UAE Innovates, where I asked the question: Just how did we achieve this?

Through our investment in innovation, we have been able to evolve our transport infrastructure, and Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) represents the pinnacle of our success so far. We have successfully digitised its terminal operating system, while also expanding and increasing multi-modality to further cut emissions.

As we look to the future we will continue to innovate, we will continue to make things possible that most of us don't even know can happen yet. There are challenges to this, we must remember to make our creations sustainable, and resources are limited. But I believe with the right commitment we can all become innovation champions.
