The Future 100 program, launched by the Ministry of Economy in the UAE, aims to promote a new, futuristic economic model in line with global economic trends over the next 50 years. Further, in line with the idea, the idea is to encourage young entrepreneurs to establish innovative startups and eventually expand globally.

Annually, the top 100 future-ready companies will be recognized based on clear criteria, objectives, and aspects, and will also contribute to defining new parameters for the future economy, according to the Minister of Economy, Abdulla bin Touq.

The Ministry of Economy continues to support innovative projects that enhance the UAE's global leadership in competitiveness indicators such as innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment attractiveness, positioning the country as a hub for creativity and innovation and driving sustainable growth and job creation, particularly in sectors like space, renewable energy, fintech, and AI.
