  Welcome, listener. We're jumping straight into
• 0:02
  a deep dive today. We are. And it's on a major
• 0:05
  strategic partnership that's really set to shape
• 0:08
  the future of project management, not just in
• 0:10
  Dubai, but globally. That's right. We're looking
• 0:13
  at this integrated effort between two huge entities.
• 0:17
  The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, and
• 0:19
  of course, the Roads and Transport Authority,
• 0:21
  or RTA. And what's so interesting here is that
• 0:24
  synergy. You have a massive utility provider
• 0:26
  and the main transit authority working together.
• 0:29
  Well, it's a blueprint for future infrastructure.
• 0:31
  Exactly. And the central piece of news, the core
• 0:34
  announcement. is this. Dubai Electricity and
• 0:37
  Water Authority is the organizing partner of
• 0:40
  Dubai International Project Management Forum
• 0:42
  for the years 2027 -2029. A three -year commitment.
• 0:46
  That's significant. It is. And it was all formalized
• 0:49
  with the agreement signed between His Excellency
• 0:52
  Mader Altaire and His Excellency Saeed Mohammed
• 0:55
  Altaire. So this really embeds Dubai Electricity
• 0:58
  and Water Authority's leadership right into the
• 1:00
  framework of the forum for the long term. And
• 1:02
  for anyone who isn't familiar with this forum,
• 1:04
  the dubai international project management forum
• 1:07
  it's it's massive oh the scale is incredible
• 1:11
  our sources say it's hosted what over 17 000
• 1:14
  participants from 50 countries and something
• 1:16
  like Over 400 sessions in the past. It's a serious
• 1:20
  global platform for setting standards. Right.
• 1:22
  And it has that top level backing, which is so
• 1:25
  important. You have to mention that. Yes. The
• 1:27
  event is held under His Highness Sheikh Hamdan
• 1:30
  bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince
• 1:33
  of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
• 1:35
  of Defense of the UAE and Chairman of the Executive
• 1:38
  Council of Dubai Patronage. And that high level
• 1:41
  direction. That really ensures the forum's focus
• 1:44
  aligns with Dubai's biggest strategic goals.
• 1:47
  Which are, you know, sustainability and innovation.
• 1:50
  That's the key. Okay, so let's get into the vision
• 1:52
  behind it. Yeah. To really understand the ambition.
• 1:54
  I think it's best we go straight to the source.
• 1:56
  I'm just going to read this first quote from
• 1:58
  His Excellency Saeed Al -Tayr. Yeah, let's hear
• 2:01
  it. His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al -Tayr said,
• 2:03
  guided by the vision and directives of His Highness
• 2:06
  Sheikh Mohammed bin Rasht al -Maktoum, Vice President
• 2:10
  and Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai.
• 2:13
  And through the follow -up of His Highness Sheikh
• 2:15
  Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown
• 2:18
  Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
• 2:20
  of Defense of the UAE, and Chairman of the Executive
• 2:23
  Council of Dubai, Dubai has become a leading
• 2:25
  global platform for hosting major events that
• 2:27
  enhance international dialogue on sustainability,
• 2:30
  accelerate the transition to a green economy,
• 2:32
  and facilitate the exchange of best practices
• 2:34
  in the implementation and management of major
• 2:36
  projects, particularly in infrastructure and
• 2:39
  clean and renewable energy, in which Dubai holds
• 2:41
  globally. leadership, and consistently tops international
• 2:44
  competitiveness indicators. When you hear it
• 2:47
  laid out like that, the link between clean energy
• 2:49
  projects and global competitiveness, it becomes
• 2:53
  so clear. Project management is basically national
• 2:56
  economic policy here. It really is. And the second
• 3:00
  quote dives into the details of the partnership
• 3:02
  itself and the specific technologies they're
• 3:04
  focusing on. His Excellency Saeed Al -Tayyar
• 3:07
  added, We are pleased to sign this partnership
• 3:09
  agreement with the Roads and Transport Authority
• 3:12
  to support Dubai International Project Management
• 3:14
  Forum, in line with the strategic partnership
• 3:17
  between Dubai Electricity and Water Authority
• 3:20
  and Roads and Transport Authority. Our efforts
• 3:23
  are integrated to realize the vision of the wise
• 3:25
  leadership to strengthen Dubai's position as
• 3:28
  a leading platform for sharing expertise and
• 3:30
  showcasing innovative solutions in sustainability
• 3:33
  and major project management. This contributes
• 3:36
  to achieving the sustainable development goals,
• 3:38
  enhancing quality of life, and employing innovation
• 3:40
  and advanced technologies, especially AI. And
• 3:43
  that's it. That's the critical takeaway, the
• 3:45
  explicit mention of AI. Right. For this 2027
• 3:47
  to 2029 cycle, the forum is going to be all about
• 3:51
  the practical application. of AI, of digitalization
• 3:54
  into these huge infrastructure projects. So we're
• 3:57
  moving beyond theory. Way beyond. Think about
• 3:59
  using AI for predictive risk modeling, for optimizing
• 4:02
  energy grids. It's about a huge leap in efficiency
• 4:06
  and really cementing Dubai's position as that
• 4:08
  global benchmark for project management. So that's
• 4:11
  the clear mission, which leaves us with a final
• 4:13
  thought for you, the listener. If the focus is
• 4:16
  now so firmly on AI and digitalization for the
• 4:19
  next three years, how will this commitment specifically
• 4:21
  impact concrete project management metrics like
• 4:24
  efficiency optimization or predictive risk assessment
• 4:27
  at the Dubai International Project Management
• 4:29
  Forum between 2027 and 2029? Something to beat
• 4:32
  them all over.
