His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, has approved the new ‘Dubai Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) Grant Initiative.’
This program, part of the Dubai Research and Development Programme launched in September 2022, aims to boost research funding in key sectors to drive Dubai’s economic growth.
The initiative will support up to 20 research projects focusing on two main areas: Cognitive Cities and Health and Life Sciences, with a special emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics Systems. Research topics include Smart Mobility, Precision Medicine, and AI applications like Fintech.
Sheikh Hamdan emphasised the initiative's role in positioning Dubai as a leading hub for global scientific research, promoting collaboration between public and private sectors, and enhancing the emirate’s future readiness.
The Dubai Future Foundation will oversee the initiative, partnering with local and international entities to ensure successful project implementation.
