There is no better place for creativity to thrive than at the crossroads of culture and innovation.
And that place is Dubai: A city that brims with opportunities, new ideas, creative people and a rich historical tradition — factors that form the very foundation of a creative and innovative city.
As the UAE marks its first Innovation Week under the directives and guidance of my father, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, we are taking a significant stride forward in tapping the power of innovation to advance and promote the city’s cultural scene.
Innovation in the creative space has a defining role in promoting societal well-being and national reputation. It brings two real benefits: The first is the social value that a vibrant cultural scene assures for the community, contributing to the happiness of the people. Cultural innovation expands the realm of the arts, shines the spotlight on talents and promotes social inclusiveness. As His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid reminds us: “Our daily work is all about achieving the happiness of people.”
