The UAE is dedicated to progressing its nuclear energy sector to support the transition to clean energy. The Emirati national cadres working in the nuclear energy sector are aware of the importance of intensifying efforts in this vital sector to help the UAE achieve its strategic goal of climate neutrality by 2050. The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries are focused on developing the country's workforce in the advanced scientific and technical field of nuclear energy.
The UAE has made significant strides in developing its local expertise in the nuclear energy sector, with about 2,000 citizens participating in the development of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant. To further enhance the country's capabilities, training programs and scholarships have been launched to develop a new generation of UAE expertise and cultivate innovators in the clean energy sector.
