One notable initiative is the Bee Café, the first of its kind in the UAE, operated entirely by People of Determination.

Among the featured solutions is the non-invasive HEARNU device, which utilizes bone conduction technology to aid individuals with hearing impairments. Another initiative allows individuals not on the autism spectrum to experience sensory challenges faced by those with autism spectrum disorder through advanced technology, fostering greater community empathy and awareness.
Sheikh Nahyan also learned about the Blooming Bee Flower Arrangement workshop, which employs students who are People of Determination, providing them with training to meet market demands in this field.

Additionally, the Minister visited a cheese factory that employs five young women with disabilities, contributing to the "Made in the UAE" initiative. This factory meets daily production needs for various dairy products and utilizes advanced programming to facilitate goat milk storage for future production.
The visit also included sewing workshops for both boys and girls, which provide job opportunities for People of Determination with intellectual challenges. These workshops aim to develop rehabilitation pathways that align with labor market requirements.
