While the new Motorola Solutions Innovation Centre will provide customers, partners and businesses with a unique opportunity to experience these technologies firsthand, the new Training Center will offer space for collaboration and co-development of purpose-built solutions to address some of the most complex challenges facing public safety and enterprises. The Dubai office and Innovation and Training Center will serve customers in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and support the company’s 100+ employees in both office-based and hybrid working models.
During the official opening ceremony, Sean Murphy, Charge d’Affaires, U.S. Embassy U.A.E and several government officials and business leaders also welcomed the company’s investment in the region at its new location in Dubai Internet City, underscoring the important contribution by Motorola Solutions to the overall development and growth of the U.A.E.’s thriving technology and ICT sector.

Reskilling and upskilling initiatives that are laser-focused on transformative technology are critical to creating a resilient future workforce that remains competitive in a fast-changing world. Motorola Solutions is a major player in communications technology. Its new Innovation and Training Center will add tremendous value to our knowledge-driven economy and global reputation as an attractive talent and technology hub.”
