Proud to see the #UAE continue to lead globally in #AI and emerging #technologies Applications are now open for the NEP-AI Program — a real opportunity for young #Emirati leaders to build capability, credibility, and national impact in one of the most important sectors of our time. If you believe the future should be built by us and for us, I strongly encourage you to apply.

Every year, I’m reminded that childhood isn’t just a stage we pass through — it’s where everything begins. It shapes how our children see the world, and it shapes how we see ourselves as parents. It’s also the reason we do what we do at the @Abudhabi_ECA adecweek.ae Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Week 2025 is now officially live across the Emirate. Over the next few days, families can explore more than 300 activities in #AbuDhabi, #AlAin, and Al #Dhafra — from play sessions and creative workshops to storytelling, outdoor adventures, cultural programs, and community events. As a father, I see firsthand how much these small moments matter. Sometimes the things my own children remember most are the simple moments — a story we read together, a game we played, or a conversation we had in the car. These little experiences stay with them. They shape their confidence, their curiosity, and their joy. That’s why this week means so much to me. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our partners, colleagues, and friends across government, the private sector, and the community. Your belief in the importance of early childhood, and your commitment to families across the Emirate, is truly inspiring. This week is possible because of your teamwork and passion. I encourage everyone to be part of this week — bring your children, your families, and your friends. These moments of play, learning, and connection create memories that last, and they build the foundation for a strong, confident next generation. @wed_movement National Academy of Childhood Development @ADNOCGroup @PureHealthae And others #SwitchToChildhood #AbuDhabiEarlyChildhoodWeek #TheirEarlyYearsMatter #EarlyChildhood
