Dubai’s DFL inks trio of deals to drive innovation in aviation & logistics

Dubai Future Labs (DFL), an initiative of Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), has signed three preliminary deals with Emirates Airline, DP World, and Dnata in order to drive innovation in the fields of aviation and logistics.

The trio of agreements aim to deploy advanced future technologies across the two vital non-oil sectors for Dubai and the UAE.

The partnerships aim to activate the Dubai Robotics and Automation Program that was launched in September to boost the development, testing, and adoption of robotics and automation (R&A) and accelerate its deployment in key economic sectors.

According to the statement, “The Program focuses on advancing research and development (R&D) in five main areas in the sector – Production, and Manufacturing; Consumer Services and Tourism; Healthcare and Connected Mobility; and Logistics.”

Further, the Program aims to transform Dubai into one of the top 10 global cities for robotics and automation by adopting and developing robotics technologies, empowering national talent, and creating new solutions, products, and services to drive the sector’s growth.
