As part of the Innovation Summit Chile–Dubai 2025, the Chilean delegation visited the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) and its Future Labs, two of the UAE’s most visionary institutions driving the nation’s transformation toward a future powered by innovation, technology, and sustainability.
The visit offered a first-hand understanding of how Dubai is building a future-ready ecosystem — one that integrates artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced science, sustainability, and smart governance to address global challenges and shape long-term development strategies.
🇦🇪 About the Dubai Future Foundation
Established in 2016 under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Dubai Future Foundation serves as the engine of Dubai’s vision for the future. Through initiatives such as the Museum of the Future, Dubai Future Labs, Dubai Future Accelerators, and Area 2071, the Foundation fosters collaboration between governments, private companies, and entrepreneurs to design practical solutions for the world of tomorrow.
