For UAE, 2020 will be the most memorable year of EXPO 2020, as this mega event kick starts in October. The EXPO 2020 is expected to give the economy a major boost through various ways and will driving large number of tourists from world over to Dubai. We are now only 10 months away from the launch of the world EXPO, which will not only showcase the country and its achievements on a global stage but will also undoubtedly play a significant role in further boosting the country’s non-oil GDP.

We are looking forward to participating in the EXPO through the India Pavilion. The pavilion will showcase India’s culture along with capabilities in technology, innovation and research, to the whole world.

The healthcare industry is transforming through innovation, and advances in technology will increasingly affect the circle of care. In 2020, the focus on technology and innovation is likely to grow exponentially and touch the lives of millions of people worldwide. There will be an amalgamation of touch and tech as patient needs evolve. We anticipate that the UAE will be at the forefront of the development of the sector in the region, particularly in the area of personalized medicine using genomic information, which is gaining momentum worldwide. We are working closely with the governments in the countries where we are present to contribute our share to this exciting area through the Aster Innovation Center.
