The Museum of the Future will “actively produce futuristic inventions,” the booming Gulf emirate’s government said, and provide a “permanent home for the world’s greatest innovations.”
It will “work to stimulate and incubate imaginative solutions to the challenges of future cities. It will bring together the brightest researchers, designers, inventors and financiers under one roof.”
The museum will house “innovation labs” focused on health, education, smart cities, energy and transport, and provide a platform for inventions by world-leading technology giants and start-ups.
