The newly established Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) has announced its plans to drive the creation of future transformative technologies with the launch of its dedicated technology programme management pillar, ASPIRE. ASPIRE works in consultation with cross-sector industry stakeholders to frame problem statements that can be solved through research and development.

Companies making redundancies can access the ASPIRE programme via the DIFC FinTech Hive. In the next 12 months the ambition is to rollout the programme to a minimum of 5,000 participants.
