“He who does not know his past cannot make the best of his present and future, for it is from the past that we learn”
Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan.

As part of the forthcoming celebrations to commemorate 50 years since the founding of the UAE, we invite you to join us and hear some of the remarkable stories over this time as we celebrate the rich history of a country many of us now consider to be ‘home’, and look ahead to the transformative change that lies ahead in the next 50 years.

We are honored to be joined by a special guest, Mr Terry Willis, former EIC Director who will share with us how the EIC ventured into the UAE and how this evolved over time. In addition, we will hear from Emirati companies Ducab, Al Yaseah and Falcon Robotics as to their journey and what the next 50 years could look like.

More exciting speakers TBC.

Join us for this in this informative session as we congratulate the UAE on this tremendous achievement on the ‘Year of the Fiftieth’.
