We are honoured to be joined by a special guest, Mr Terry Willis, former EIC Director who will share with us how the EIC ventured into the UAE and how this evolved over time. In addition, we will hear from Emirati companies Ducab, Al Yaseah and Falcon Robotics as to their journey and what the next 50 years could look like.
