ICT Fund has granted, through BETHA program, 1876 since the launch of the program in 2010. The scholarships focused on developing national human cadres in ICT-related disciplines such as Telecommunications Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Science, Smart Cities, Cybersecurity and others.
ICT Fund has invested heavily in BETHA to allocate hundreds of seats for bachelor's and master's degrees in the most prestigious UAE universities, and international universities in the United States, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other leading countries in the sector. The program aspires to attract more outstanding students for the next few years. BETHA is part of ICT Fund's strategy to scale up national human cadres specializing in ICT, including Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Informational Technology, and many other disciplines.
ICT Fund received a funding request for the project "Creating Innovation for the Development of iOS Applications” at the Higher Colleges of Technology in Dubai," which is part of the UAE universities' approach to developing innovation curricula and programs. The center will be equipped with technical staff and infrastructure including computers and smart tablets, as well as servers and smart boards, and will include educational programs related to mobile applications studies.
The Center will improve the information and skills of HCT students in the development of applications for smartphones and programming, which will make Emirati young people one of the most important entrepreneurs in the field of application development in the UAE and around it. HCT will cooperate with various educational institutions and universities to allow national students from these institutions to use this center and provide facilities for higher education and research.
