emirates7 - The UAE has become a global example of how to effectively utilize resources and capabilities to a sustainable, future-focused society, according to German entrepreneur and humanitarian expert Kilian Kleinschmidt.
Speaking during a panel session at the World Crisis and Emergency Management Summit 2025, Kleinschmidt noted that the UAE has established itself as a global center for science, technology, and forward-thinking strategies.
In remarks to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), he emphasized that an effective response to crises depends on collaborative efforts between governments and communities, highlighting the importance of cross-border cooperation in tackling global emergencies and challenges.
Kleinschmidt applauded the UAE’s model of progress and innovation, describing it as a "global brain" that has turned a desert landscape with limited natural resources into a hub for knowledge, technology, and visionary thinking by drawing talent from a wide range of fields.
He said the UAE's distinctive approach to development should serve as a blueprint for other regions, encouraging its replication to foster more resilient and sustainable societies.
He also stressed that "every crisis presents a chance for transformation," arguing that recovery efforts should go beyond restoration and aim to envision a more adaptive and forward-looking future.
Kleinschmidt pointed to artificial intelligence as a cornerstone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, offering innovative solutions by connecting global technologies to local problems.
Despite the importance of technological advancement, he underscored that people must remain central to all meaningful and lasting change.
