The forum aimed to unify efforts, strengthen collaboration, and ensure a cohesive representation at the global technology exhibition. Sheikh Saud bin Sultan Al Qasimi affirmed that Sharjah’s participation will be “exceptional” and will deliver meaningful impact. He noted that the vision took shape after H.H.
