HE Zaki Nusseibeh, UAE Minister of State is a very interesting narrator I learned a lot about the UAE and he has got me stimulated to study more. Wikipedia Zaki Nusseibeh Kindly when I spoke to him and told him of my Family Link Up project and how two members of the Syrian family are standing out that have great passion and drive to succeed. He has given me his contact details for me to tell him more. Dubai is really standing out with innovations for the future. There is a real look at the socio-economic way to go forward for the future of mankind and the planet. Some interesting thoughts on how to problem solve in eco-friendly way and how to achieve more harmony through encouraging creativity rather than systems that stifle... I am very impressed with the overall thought going into how man will embrace the future and of course the future starts now! I am mind blown with the 3D printed houses to solve the need for housing for ever growing populations..... and was fun with the robot camel that does the dishes and tidies the house.... hhhh
