At pivotal moments in the history of our nation, progress has come from people willing to work on the best solutions for the future.
We are living one of those moments.
Since our founding in 2019, NEP has existed to lead the transformation in sectors critical to the UAE’s future economy and national development.
NEP Experts challenge assumptions about how our most strategic sectors work and to think big about how they could work better. The challenges we face now are more complex, interconnected, and urgent than ever, and they touch every area of our diverse society: from education and family to food security, technology, and defense.
NEP Experts are developing new ideas and new ways to engage everyone in the work.
NEP serves as a launchpad for Emirati experts, accelerating their journey from specialized expertise to national leadership. Through advanced training, strategic exposure, and access to influential networks, the program equips high-potential Emiratis with the capabilities and platforms needed to shape policy, drive innovation, and lead transformation in sectors critical to the UAE’s future.
Today, more than 70% of NEP Experts hold leadership roles. By empowering experts to translate knowledge into impact and to contribute to national priorities, the program strengthens the UAE’s human capital and prepares a new generation of leaders capable of advancing the country’s long-term development and global standing.
NEP Experts do this by:
- 01
Translating national strategies into concrete initiatives and policies
- 02
Advancing innovation and global best practices
- 03
Building collaboration across government, industry, and academia
- 04
Developing future Emirati leaders and expertise
