The Dubai Research Development and Innovation RDI Program
The Dubai Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) Program outlines Dubai’s top priorities in research, development and innovation, and regulates projects, initiatives and legislations, as well as funding and investment in this area. It also aims to increase domestic spending on such projects and maximise the engagement of the private sector in launching and funding R&D projects.
The Dubai RDI Program supports Dubai’s future vision to create knowledge and innovation-driven solutions for the most significant local and global challenges and increase the productivity of existing sectors by providing new paths to enhance their economic value. The Program also identifies significant radical changes and ways to address them. The Program aims to enhance the emirate’s readiness to accommodate new sectors that have the potential to boost Dubai’s economic resilience.
The Dubai RDI Program will develop a comprehensive platform for research grant funding procedures, facilitating investment opportunities and related collaborations, and support innovative projects and initiatives aligned with key priorities.
