Many of the most important innovations in the history of mankind were the result of coincidence, but what distinguishes it was that it was not an ordinary coincidence, but rather by scientists or discoverers who knew to read data about the phenomenon that happened by chance, including the famous Newton apple, it was not the first time that it fell There is an apple on the head of a person sleeping under a tree, but the difference is that Newton stopped long at her, and he transformed the event with data that is data, and put it in an equation that made physics what it has been for ages, and many other phenomena and accidents, but what is the difference between it and others and what is its relationship to data ?

The difference is that the events did not pass like this, but were analyzed and the results of the analysis were measured based on the knowledge available to the observer or discoverer, despite the simplicity and traditionality of the tools that were available at that time, and the limited data - that I want to agree to refer to with the data at the moment of this week's data - However, the outputs or results have been amazing and we are living their results to date.

Therefore, any innovation in the history of mankind, until now, was the result of what is available to man from data at some point, and his ability to link it with his knowledge and experience and transform it to a conclusion that has become an innovation or innovations that we enjoy today.

A report by the World Economic Forum, titled: “2030 Turning Technology-Based Hopes into Reality,” revealed that 90% of the data in the world today has only been produced during the past two years, and the report examines how technology like artificial intelligence has become more skilled than doctors in specializations such as ophthalmology , And can diagnose more than 50 eye diseases with great accuracy. The report also indicated that the employment of technology in its current state will enable us to achieve about 70% of the goals of sustainable development 2030, thanks to the results of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which made me choose innovation with data as a title, because all the inventions and innovations we have known so far, were before this jump in Abundance of data, let us imagine together the amount of innovation that can result from compiling, opening and sharing data globally in the future of humans.

And in the Emirates, we celebrate the month of innovation every year, to meet talents and minds across the Emirates area, and try to provide innovations that raise the lives of people and the services provided to them, but I believe that we still only touch the surface of innovation, and that the great opportunity for innovation for us by maturing the experience of opening and sharing data in various sectors and analyzing it Professionally, and we have a vivid example in Dubai, it is the Dubai Plus platform, which is a rich starting point for those looking for opportunities for innovation, and most importantly we have a distinct vision of our wise leadership that represents a solid foundation for being challenging what has been achieved so far, and asking us more every day, so let's innovate with data from now Onwards .
