- The federal Ministry of Economy and Tourism has implemented Cabinet measures to lower industrial‑property costs for student inventors and people of determination, removing fees for a range of patent and design services to ease access to IP protection.
- Thirty‑two UAE experts in the 'Experts UAE' AI track are finalizing sector‑focused projects that will be evaluated before investors and government committees in January 2027 as part of a pathway from skills development to applied deployment.
- The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre opened the 'Fay 3' payload call and extended international partnerships while Dubai and federal bodies are using a packed November events calendar—including Dubai Future Week and investor forums—to surface investable projects and attract partners.
