The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has launched a virtual brainstorming session to ask for the community's contributions to the future of the UAE.

Titled "With your ideas, we shape the future of the UAE for the next 50", the workshop is in line with "Designing the Next 50" project.

This is the comprehensive development plan for the UAE during the next five decades as part of the agenda of "2020: towards the next 50", the plan announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, at the beginning of the year

Participants in the first session have been exploring the development of vital sectors such as health, business and education.

They discussed several innovative government projects including the UAEPass and Bashr and developing solutions based on Artificial Intelligence and big data.

The next session takes place on November 4.
