TRENDS Research & Advisory received a delegation from the Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination. The delegation was keen to learn about TRENDS’s research and knowledge work and explore ways to strengthen cooperation between the two sides.

This visit comes in the context of implementing the cooperation agreement previously signed, which aims to support people with disabilities and empower them to contribute effectively to the research and media fields. This aligns with national initiatives that seek to engage all segments of society in the development journey, particularly in light of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE (may God protect him), declaring 2025 the “Year of Community.”

During the meeting, both sides discussed the Documentary Series project, which was implemented in collaboration between TRENDS and the Zayed Higher Organization. The project is one of the pioneering initiatives inspired by the goals of the Year of Community. It highlights milestones in UAE history through the voices and participation of People of Determination, across 25 short episodes broadcast over three months.

Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al-Ali, CEO of TRENDS Research & Advisory, praised the visit, affirming that it reflects the strength of the existing partnership and the keenness of both sides to implement national projects that promote belonging and showcase the contributions of all segments of society.

He noted that the Documentary project embodies the shared vision of TRENDS and the Zayed Higher Organization to empower people of determination and enhance their presence in national media through initiatives that preserve the UAE’s cultural and historical heritage.

The delegation from the Zayed Higher Organization expressed its pride in collaborating with TRENDS, appreciating its role in supporting the people of determination and utilizing their capabilities in vital fields.

The delegation affirmed that this partnership translates the goals of the Zayed Higher Organization in caring for and empowering People of Determination within a comprehensive vision that believes everyone is a partner in building the nation.
