Innovation, research, and data-backed decisions are the key driving forces behind the phenomenal growth of AD Ports Group. We support our leadership’s vision to diversify the economy and advance innovation in the UAE.
Re-inventing the way of doing business while looking out for new and more efficient ways has been a constant and continuous exercise for AD Ports Group. We develop and harness the power of emerging technologies to transform the future of trade, stay competitive and achieve sustainable growth.
To foster innovation across our group, we set up a Research & Development (R&D) committee in 2017, launched the IBTIKAR programme and integrated several innovative solutions to build an infrastructure to conceive, foster and execute innovative ideas in real-time business scenarios.
The global supply chain environment is highly competitive, dynamic, and fluid. As a result, the maritime and trade industry continuously demands new innovative ways of doing business.
With a progressive and sustainable intent in mind, we founded our R&D Committee in 2017. The goal was to build on infrastructure to conceive, foster and execute innovative ideas in real-time business scenarios.
Our R&D committee also raises awareness about the importance of technical and scientific research, publishing research papers, and organising workshops to explain the ongoing research and developments.
