ABU DHABI, 9th April, 2025 (WAM) -- The UAE has emerged as a global model for leveraging resources and capabilities to build a sustainable and future-ready society, said German entrepreneur and humanitarian expert Kilian Kleinschmidt.
Speaking at a panel discussion at the World Crisis and Emergency Management Summit 2025, Kleinschmidt said the UAE had positioned itself as an international hub for science, technology, and future foresight.
In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), he said effective crisis response requires joint action by governments and communities, stressing the need for "borderless" solutions to address global disasters and challenges.
He praised the UAE's development and innovation model, describing it as a "global brain," having transformed a resource-scarce desert environment into a centre for knowledge, technology, and ambitious vision by attracting talent from across disciplines.
This unique development experience is worth replicating worldwide, he said, calling for its adoption in other regions to help build more sustainable and resilient systems.
Kleinschmidt emphasised that "any crisis is an opportunity for transformation," noting that recovery should not merely aim to rebuild, but to reimagine a more adaptive and advanced future.
He highlighted artificial intelligence as a key pillar of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, offering communities access to pioneering solutions by linking local challenges with global technological innovations.
While acknowledging the value of technology, he underlined that humans must remain at the core of all meaningful transformation.
