“One of the main reasons why we are making such a bold statement like this is the fact that today, if you want to see the future of having a connected and enabled society, all you have to look is at India. Look at the Indian stack, UPI,” Omar bin Sultan Al Olama said.
The minister also urged the audience to think and talk about new ideas that can be migrated globally. He asked Indian innovators to look at the UAE as a “natural springboard” for startups in the Middle East and African regions. “We know that the startups in Bengaluru look at the UAE as the natural hub for Africa, but the startups in the UAE naturally look at India to expand and be more enabled,” he concluded.
