Hamidan emphasized the steadfast support offered by the UAE leadership to People of Determination, noting the organization's commitment to adhering to the highest standards of care and rehabilitation. He also mentioned efforts to incorporate the latest global technologies and expertise into their programs.

Sheikh Nahyan was briefed on the Zayed Higher Organization’s strategic projects and services aimed at People of Determination throughout Abu Dhabi. The Minister learned about various workshops and vocational rehabilitation initiatives run by the organization, showcasing the talents of its participants.

One notable initiative is the Bee Café, the first of its kind in the UAE, operated entirely by People of Determination. The Exhibition Hall, also visited by Sheikh Nahyan, is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa, launched in partnership with Topland to showcase innovative solutions designed to assist 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. He visited a specialized chocolate-making workshop operated under the brand name "The Bee," as well as the first integrated workshop for prosthetics and orthotics in the UAE, developed in collaboration with the German company OTP PowerVent. This facility supports the UAE and GCC markets by training People of Determination in the production of prosthetics and orthotics using the latest technologies.

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. Sheikh Nahyan observed a presentation of printing services managed by People of Determination, which includes products like notebooks, shirts, and mugs.

To conclude his visit, Sheikh Nahyan inspected the 3D printing workshop, established in collaboration with HP. This facility is the first of its kind globally to be managed by People of Determination, producing medical supports for limbs using advanced 3D printing technology.
