People will be surprised how quickly what now is considered to be far-off futuristic technology will be real, thanks to the vision of the leadership of Dubai and the Future Foundation".

"For those with vision and drive to face the challenges of the future and create innovative solutions, we have launched the Dubai Future Accelerators" said H.E. Abdulla bin Touq, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation.
