"DEWA's Innovation Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park aims to support innovation and creativity in clean and renewable energy, raise awareness about sustainability, develop Emirati talent and enhance the UAE competitive advantage in this promising sector. The Centre also helps achieve the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to empower young people and encourage them to build the nation, and anticipate and shape the future. DEWA adopts an integrated strategy to empower and support young people, and engage them in different areas of national work. This stems from believing that today’s youth are the leaders of the future and the cornerstone of ensuring a brighter future for generations to come, "HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA said.
Waleed Salman, Executive Vice President - Business Development and Excellence at DEWA, highlighted the importance of joining efforts to invest in developing the youth capabilities, paving their paths in clean and renewable energy sectors, and achieving sustainable development goals by harnessing the power of innovation and technology.
