The last visit of the week took us to Dubai’s production city. Steering through the manufacturing free zone, we reached the technology development zone of DGWorld. The team of DG World produces high-tech machinery in combination with AI and Software development. Watching the chess-playing robot and hearing about the self-driving car coming into effect with self-driving cargo machines at seaports soon, we were again amazed on how much power small companies in the UAE can bring into the world of technology. After an inspiring discussion on the future of robots, we said had to say goodbye to the DGWorld team as well as Dubai.
Next stop: Abu Dhabi - the neighbouring Emirate. On our way we stopped at the “Last Exit”, a food town developed after a Mad Max Movie which offered many picture opportunities. In Abu Dhabi, our local guide took us on a tour including Corniche stroll, presidential palace views and sunset at the impressive Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. After our last group dinner it is time for farewell. Some participants fly back to home to Singapore or Switzerland, some travel to the Oman, and some extend their stay in Abu Dhabi for a desert and beach experience under the blue sky.
