Sheikh Hamdan said it is important to have a clear plan to support smart systems in Abu Dhabi. He explained that understanding what businesses need will help bring partnerships and new companies to Abu Dhabi. This will create new jobs and help the economy grow.
He also said smart systems can make transport safer, faster, and better for the environment. These systems can help move goods and people by land, sea, and air. This will make Abu Dhabi a leader in green and smart transport and bring skilled workers to the city.

The meeting also talked about how to make it easier to test smart systems. The leaders want to work with other groups to ensure testing is safe and follows all laws. These tests will support green transportation on land, sea, and air.
