HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum Dubai Airshow 2021 set to reconnect the aviation, aerospace, space and defence industries

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil
Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief
Executive of Emirates Airline and Group emphasized the importance of Dubai
Airshow 2021 during a press conference held in Dubai today. H.H. Sheikh
Ahmed described the event as an opportunity to reconnect the aviation,
aerospace, space and defence industries.

H.H said: “Based on the number of new participant countries and exhibitors
added this year, Dubai Airshow 2021 is set to be bigger and better than the
2019 event. The event will showcase the critical role that aviation,
aerospace, space and defence continue to play at a global level. By
welcoming international leaders and experts from across the globe, we are
paving the way for new partnerships that will drive recovery and future
growth. Dubai Airshow this year will be futuristic, modern, forward-looking,
and creative. It will showcase the future of mobility, space exploration and
defence as well as AI, digital transformation and more. We are excited to
welcome industry friends, colleagues and newcomers from across the planet to
Dubai.

“Dubai Airshow 2021 is a testament to the UAE and Dubai’s response to the
pandemic, a pragmatic response that focused on protecting the health and
well-being of the people as a top priority while minimising the impact of
the crisis on the nation’s economy. We are once again hosting important
in-person events and returning to business normality thanks to the success
of our approach and readiness,” H.H. Sheikh Ahmed added.

This year, Dubai Airshow will have a major focus on new technologies where
exhibitors will be showcasing the latest innovation and state-of-the-art
solutions. The brand new conference stage, Tech Xplore, will highlight how
emerging technologies are helping reboot aviation and changing the entire
flying experience. There will be new conferences focusing on trending
aerospace topics like advanced aerial mobility, sustainability, and space,
air traffic and cargo. The role of start-ups and entrepreneurs within the
sector will also be center stage, with the new East-West startup hub VISTA.
Through new activations and competitions, Dubai Airshow is helping to
actively encourage bright minds to bring new ideas and creativity to the
industry.

Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai
