The 6th edition of the AccessAbilities Expo was an outstanding success, bringing together over 250 exhibitors, brands, and rehabilitation centres from more than 50 countries, and drawing over 15,000 visitors from 70 countries. Among the distinguished attendees were members of the diplomatic corps in the UAE, as well as officials from ministries and government bodies from across the region, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Oman, India, and beyond. This gathering served as a platform for the exchange of ideas, building of partnerships, and the exploration of cutting-edge technologies that benefit hundreds of millions of people of determination worldwide.

The Expo also addressed critical issues, such as the increasing prevalence of autism, presenting significant challenges to societies globally. It reinforced the importance of inclusive education and accessible travel and tourism, and showcased innovations in rehabilitation that improve the quality of life for over 50 million people of determination living in the Middle East.

By hosting this prominent event, Dubai reaffirms its status as a global leader in assistive technologies and rehabilitation services, underscoring our commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that no one is left behind. I am proud of what this event represents and the progress it signifies, and I look forward to your continued engagement and support.
