It also draws attention to the country's plans to introduce flying taxis by 2026.

The activation emphasises the UAE's commitment to innovation and its vision of making the impossible possible.

As part of this initiative, the Emirates is eager to attract global investors and forward-thinkers, highlighting its achievements and infrastructure designed to support startups and businesses.
