The Innovation Arabia 9 (IA9) Congress is set to kick-off in March under the theme 'Accelerating Innovation towards Sustainable Economy' in Dubai, UAE.

 

A select group of regional and international speakers, senior experts, officials and decision makers from various sectors and disciplines will take part in one of the most important annual events in the education sector, which will run from March 7 to 9 at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.

 

In a move that aims to highlight the country’s march towards ‘smart’ transformation and sustainability, Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU) launched the application to serve as an interactive smart platform for all the participants. 

 

The app enables them to communicate effectively, be updated about the agenda, set appointments for discussion sessions, and access all details about the congress’ events. 

 

It can be downloaded using iOS and Android devices through Apple Store and Google Play Store.

 

Dr Mansoor Al Awar, chancellor, said the upcoming Innovation Arabia 9 Congress will focus on scientific research and effective mechanisms to develop local research capabilities through a series of sub-conferences, discussion sessions, and training workshops. 

 

The three main conferences of IA9 will focus on ‘Quality and Business Management,’ ‘Smart Learning Excellence’ and ‘Health and Environment’. 

 

Dr Al Awar added that a wide range of pressing topics will be discussed during the course of three days in an interactive platform. 

 

The event will bring together leading academicians, researchers and industry leaders to discuss regional and international issues, aspects and best practices.

 

The first day will feature three key conferences titled ‘Quality and Business Management’; ‘Smart Learning Excellence’; and ‘Health and Environment.’

 

The second day of the congress will feature the ‘Quality and Business Management’ conference and other interactive activities. 

 

It will include a panel discussions titled ‘Ecosystem for Sustainable Entrepreneurship’; ‘New Multidisciplinary Research Paradigms for Smart Learning’; and ‘Importance of Green Economy to Arab World.’

 

“The annual Innovation Arabia Congress receives overwhelming response every year. This is a clear demonstration of the event’s success especially in terms of supporting the country’s smart transformation efforts in the areas of education, scientific research and health, all of which are main pillars for building an integrated knowledge-based economy," said Dr Al Awar.

 

"The ninth edition reflects HBMSU’s relentless commitment to promote a comprehensive sustainable development in line with the directives of the UAE’s wise leadership,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
