It also reflects our commitment to aligning with the vision of our wise leadership. We believe this workshop and forum will help Dubai become a leading global center for digital innovation."

The goal of the workshop was to develop a global strategy for cloud computing over the next five years. It provided an opportunity for experts to share ideas and work together to find solutions. The discussions focused on ways to encourage more people to use cloud technology and to speed up innovation. 

The workshop used design thinking, a creative approach to solving problems, to help identify challenges and find new ways to tackle them. Attendees worked on creating ideas and solutions that could be put into action. At the end of the workshop, they shared their ideas and got feedback to improve them.

After the workshop, the attendees visited the "Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park," the world’s largest solar park. This visit gave them a chance to learn about sustainable technologies that support Dubai’s green cloud computing. Dubai’s government is taking steps to promote sustainable practices, and the solar park is a perfect example of how these technologies can help create a greener future. The event helped build stronger partnerships and encouraged more collaboration on future technological advances and sustainable cloud solutions. 

The whole event marked an important step forward for Dubai, strengthening its role as a leader in innovation and cloud computing.
