This engaging session underscored our shared commitment to fostering innovation, cross-border partnerships, and sustainable development. Our discussions focused on areas that will empower both Irish and UAE enterprises, from exploring advanced manufacturing to strengthening innovation pathways and creating more opportunities for startup ecosystems. We also explored opportunities for advancing AI innovation, a key area of focus for driving future-ready solutions in both regions. The insights and collaborative spirit of the UAE ministries are invaluable as we work toward meaningful international partnerships. Thank you to all involved for the warm hospitality and inspiring dialogue.

🌍 Exciting Growth in Education & EdTech Across the MENA! 📚 Over the past five years, student enrollments in the region have surged by over half a million, driven by the rise of private school operators, supportive policies, and a strong focus on #technology-driven education. Significant government investment in education is evident, with Saudi Arabia leading the way with a 17.0% allocation in 2023, followed closely by #Oman at 16.7%. The #UAE has increased its education budget from 14.8% in 2020 to 15.5% in 2023, while #Kuwait consistently invests 11.5% in the sector. These figures surpass those of the #US, #UK, and #Germany. To meet the growing demand for education and edtech, Saudi Arabia is expanding its infrastructure through private sector involvement and implementing reforms as part of its Saudi Vision 2030 strategy to build a knowledge-based economy. Opening its doors tomorrow, events such as GESS Dubai (12 - 14 Nov) and other education-related trade shows are vital platforms for #Irish companies to connect and engage with key industry players across the region. Join us at GESS Dubai in exploring the latest trends and opportunities emerging in this vibrant market.
