We’re in the middle of a global talent shortage. By 2030, more than 85 million jobs are expected to be unfilled as a result, which is roughly equivalent to the population of Germany. The IT sector is affected particularly hard, so companies interested in hiring skilled IT professionals have to cast wide nets.

The Emirates Group, the Dubai-based international aviation holding company, is now looking for 500 IT professionals from around the world for jobs in the following areas: Agile Delivery, Cybersecurity, DevOps, Digital Workplace, Hybrid Cloud, Innovation, Modern Architecture, Service Management, Software Engineering, and Technical Product Management.

“Technology is evolving, and applications are widely used across all the Emirates Group, which includes the world’s largest international airline Emirates, and one of the world’s largest combined air services providers, dnata” writes the Emirates Group on its website. “The Group is experiencing a strong recovery and demand across its businesses and is offering a range of career opportunities for skilled IT professionals to work with technologies at world-leading innovative partners in a dynamic and evolving environment”.

Besides the opportunity to move to a vibrant cosmopolitan city that’s home to over 200 nationalities, more than 80 percent of which are foreign residents, the Emirates Group is offering a range of attractive perks, including travel benefits, exclusive discounts on flights and hotels stays, as well as a tax-free salary.

The announcement the Emirates Group’s intention to recruit 500 IT professionals comes only around a month after the holding company unveiled its plans to recruit 6,000 additional operational staff to boost its workforce as travel demand rebounds. So far, the Emirates Group has restored 90 percent of its pre-pandemic passenger network.

“We are seeing strong signs of pent-up demand wherever restrictions have eased. Emirates is nimbly matching up flight services and identifying opportunities to grow our footprint” said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Emirates Chairman and Chief Executive.

Hopefully, the Emirates Group will be able to keep all new hires long-term as the travel industry gradually recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
