The United Arab Emirates left a significant mark at VivaTech 2025, Europe’s largest and most prestigious technology show, hosted in Paris. This year, the UAE elevated its presence from a symbolic role to a vibrant display of its future-focused ambitions and digital innovation strategy. The country’s participation highlighted its expanding prominence as a global technological powerhouse, exhibiting its dedication to science, innovation, and youth empowerment.
Multiple UAE-based startups and innovative ventures have caught the interest of global investors and technology experts. These businesses tackled a wide range of topics, including artificial intelligence, robots, smart wearables, and cybersecurity. Their participation was a strong indication of the UAE’s growing IT ecosystem and investment-friendly environment.
One of the main attractions was a self-driving motorcycle created by RoboHitech, a Dubai-based robotics business. Founder Muhammad Al Shamsi stated that, while the vehicle resembled a regular motorbike, it was actually an autonomous innovation with practical applications in urban logistics, security, and mobility.
Speaking with Emirates News Agency, Al Shamsi lauded the UAE’s strong innovation ecosystem with enabling such breakthroughs. He emphasised that the country’s leadership has provided an ideal environment for experimentation and technological advances.
