Hassan Al Noon is a graduate of the National Experts Program in Abu Dhabi, a launchpad for Emirati technical experts, which includes mentoring by established leaders. 

Hassan’s capstone project focused on the development of deep-tech, and the need to create a collaborative ecosystem to support R&D in the UAE.
