Initial<\/span><\/span> seven specialist centres for R&D innovation <\/span><\/span>to have world-class research facilities<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi has<\/span><\/span> unveiled<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>Technology Innovation Institute (TII), <\/span><\/span>a pioneering global centre for advanced technology research <\/span><\/span>commit<\/span><\/span>t<\/span><\/span>ed<\/span><\/span> to reinforc<\/span><\/span>ing<\/span><\/span> Abu Dhabi and the UAE\u2019s status as a global hub for innovation and advanced technologies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The institute<\/span><\/span> is the dedicated applied research pillar of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), which was recently established to set the research and development<\/span><\/span> (R&D) priorities for Abu Dhabi.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It <\/span><\/span>aims<\/span><\/span> to deliver discovery science and breakthrough technologies <\/span><\/span>that have a<\/span><\/span> global impact. <\/span><\/span>It <\/span><\/span>is rapidly breaking new ground <\/span><\/span>at<\/span><\/span> its seven initial dedicated research centres<\/span><\/span>, which each have<\/span><\/span> world-class research facilities. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The initial seven areas of focus are: quantum research; autonomous robotics; cryptography; advanced materials; digital security; directed energy; and secure systems. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His Excellency Faisal Al Bannai, Secretary-General of Advanced Technology Research Council, said the institute <\/span><\/span>would help <\/span><\/span>position Abu Dhabi and the UAE as a global hub for advanced technology research. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HE Faisal said: \u201cThe Technology Innovation Institute is a pioneering research centre that develops disruptive and transformative technologies that have practical use-cases and global impact.<\/span><\/span> The institute allows us to <\/span><\/span>push the frontiers of knowledge further than ever before for the benefit of science, society, the economy and the environment.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span><\/span>eams of international scientists and researchers joined the <\/span><\/span>i<\/span><\/span>nstitute from around the world<\/span><\/span> within two months of the <\/span><\/span>first <\/span><\/span>board meeting<\/span><\/span> in August 2020<\/span><\/span>. This intellectual community will contribute to building a<\/span><\/span> research and development<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span>R&D<\/span><\/span>)<\/span><\/span>ecosystem in Abu Dhabi and the UAE.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

TII<\/span><\/span> will <\/span><\/span>also <\/span><\/span>drive applied research, intellectual property development, and academic and industry partnerships.<\/span><\/span> It <\/span><\/span>has already begun <\/span><\/span>working on <\/span><\/span>more than <\/span><\/span>25 long-term collaborative projects through partnerships with more than 20 world-leading universities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Importantly, the institute <\/span><\/span>will have the flexibility to <\/span><\/span>rapidly <\/span><\/span>progress research, with a defined research roadmap, committed long-term funding and the ability to make effective decisions in a fast-paced environment. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

TII is one of two pillars under ATRC, which was <\/span><\/span>established in May 2020 to <\/span><\/span>expand<\/span><\/span> the breadth and depth of an already thriving R&D ecosystem<\/span><\/span> in Abu Dhabi<\/span><\/span>. Bringing together cross-disciplinary leaders in re<\/span><\/span>search and technology, ATRC is cultivating<\/span><\/span> a collaborativ<\/span><\/span>e research community, accelerating<\/span><\/span>innovation and discovery and foster<\/span><\/span>ing<\/span><\/span> a culture of inquiry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
