In this context, H.E. Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, TRA Director General, said: “The UAE has come a long way in establishing the foundations of smart transformation, as well as utilizing all modern technologies to serve the customers and achieve their happiness, which is an implementation of the wise leadership directives in this regard. Our participation in QITCOM today is a continuation of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the UAE’s global leading position in this field, as well as an opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge with decision-makers in the public and private sectors.”

“The region is moving towards enhancing the utilization of technologies and smart solutions, and using them to serve the sustainable development goals. Hosting international conferences and exhibitions is part of this approach, which aims to build a knowledge-based economy, and reflects the region’s position in this field.” H.E. Al Mansoori added.
