Expect more future-proof jobs soon in UAE: Tech firms

Tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, , IBM, HPE, LinkedIn, Nvidia and Facebook were named partners of the programme. Shukri Eid, managing director of Cisco Gulf region, said this collaboration with the government will fast-track the national digitisation, create new jobs, and transform sectors across public and private domains. "We believe that stimulating innovation and establishing a skilled workforce is critical for the growth of the digital economy, and with it, the creation of a more inclusive future. Owing to the efforts of the government, the UAE is already well-positioned in terms of digital readiness. This initiative illustrates an ongoing commitment to future-proof both job roles and the economy," he said. Ahmad Alkhallafi, managing director of HPE UAE, said the US major will provide its global expertise and regional knowledge of the market to train and recruit individuals from around the globe to participate in the realisation of Dubai's vision. "We will also leverage the HPE Digital Life Garage, which was launched in Dubai by Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, in July 2020, and was the first in a series of worldwide innovation hubs focused on transforming technology's impact on society," he said.
