The attendees also received an ovreview of the UAE’s experience and leadership in the field of artificial intelligence, and what it aspires to achieve from it, in line with the visions of the wise leadership to develop the best services and enhance the competitiveness of the UAE.
The residence of the Ambassador in Budapest where the Majlis took place, is also the former home of scientist John von Neumann, and during the first session of the Majlis, the Jon von Neumann University launched their Neumann H2 vehicle in Hungary, which operates on both hydrogen and solar power, and it was driven for the first time on public roads from the Majlis.
This vehicle was previously announced at the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28), which was held at Expo City Dubai late last year.
The vehicle which was partly manufactured in the UAE, bears the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai: "Innovation is a continuous journey with no time limit".
