Sheikh Mohammed said technological advances are disrupting several sectors, including construction. He said the sector had introduced various elements of the fourth industrial revolution, including AI and its applications in projects. Infrastructure projects are key enablers of comprehensive sustainable development, he added.

His Highness also noted that Dubai’s strong events and exhibitions sector, which offers a platform to forge new partnerships, opens up several new growth opportunities. Noting to Dubai’s conducive business and investment ecosystem, he affirmed the city’s keenness to improve cooperation with its global partners, and its ability to explore new avenues to further support the growth of the global economy through the various exhibitions it hosts.

Accompanying Sheikh Mohammed during the tour of the Big 5 exhibition were Khalifa Saeed Sulaiman, Chairman of Protocols for the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism.
