Science, Technology and Innovation Roadmap and Portal
In line with national aspirations, the UAE Space Agency is developing a Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) Roadmap that accounts for a variety of scientific and technological fields related to space. The Roadmap aims to develop the UAE’s capabilities in space that make it a partner of choice for international space sector collaboration, including joint space programs. A number of key science and technology areas have been identified for targeted Space Agency support and funding throughout the next five years.
An STI portal is being developed to increase levels of engagement with the general public, academic institutions, industry bodies in contributing innovative ideas to the Space Agency and taking part in technological challenges facing society, government and industry sectors.
