ABU DHABI – The Emirates Science, Technology and Innovation Higher
Policy, adopted by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
in coincidence with the Innovation Week, signifies the depth and far-sighted
vision of the UAE leadership for taking concrete steps towards a future in
which the state does not depend on oil as a main source of revenue, according
to H.H. Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, National Security Advisor and
Chairman of Emirates Identity Authority.
''To be fully ready for the depletion of the last
drop of oil, as stated by Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai,
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and His Highness Sheikh
Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme
Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, places before all of us - institutions and
individuals - a challenge for innovation which will drive the local economy in
the years to come, preserve the nation's gains and add to them in order to
serve interests of the UAE people,'' Sheikha Hazza said as he chaired the
Authority's third meeting of the year.
Sheikh Hazza highlighted the Authority's
participation in the Innovation Week and the projects it presents during the
national initiative which seeks to solidify the UAE's prominent and leading
position globally in areas of innovation, creativity and development of the
Emirati citizen to be an active contributor to the progress and transformation
of his country towards a knowledge-based economy.
''We hope the Authority will obtain a seven star
score in the government star-rating system, and we are confident that will be
achieved by efforts and minds of its staff,'' he said, emphasizing his full
support any creative initiatives that develop and upgrade capacities and
abilities of its staff.
During the meeting, Sheikh Hazza heard a report on
the e-voting system the Authority has developed for the last Federal National
Council election 2015 held last October and reviewed other topics on the agenda
of the meeting.
