TAKAMUL
Launched in 2011, Takamul is a UAE innovation program to support inventors and promote innovation across the country. Takamul (meaning “integration” in Arabic) describes the “integral” mathematical operation. In mathematics, an integral represents the sum of results for an equation between two points.
Similar to its mathematical namesake, the Takamul Program’s ultimate mission is to facilitate the integration of each stage of the innovation cycle between the starting point (generating ideas) and the end state (the practical application of these ideas through innovative products, solutions, and services). This is illustrated in the program’s logo–an integral sign that begins with ideas (colored in grey) and transitions into application (colored in red).
Takamul focuses on making UAE one of the most innovative countries in the world by promoting the innovation cycle, from the generation of ideas to the practical implementation of these ideas into commercial activities that support the country economically and socially.
In mature, knowledge-based economies, innovation in the science and technology industries has contributed significantly to their economic growth. Takamul is aligned with Abu Dhabi’s Economic Vision 2030 to drive human capital in science and technology by helping inventors and innovators of every age turn their dreams into reality.
