“As the UAE marks a month of celebrations for Emirati Women’s Day, beginning on 28 August, we recognise the remarkable progress and contributions of Emirati women, whose leadership and achievements continue to shape the UAE’s success across every sector, including defence and security.

This year’s theme, ‘We Emerge Stronger and Better’, speaks to something we recognise in our own work, that achievement is a foundation to build on rather than a finishing point. It is a spirit we see in the Emirati women who are helping to develop advanced, UAE-made capability, and one that guides our commitment to nurturing the next generation of Emirati leaders within the defence sector. 

We are honoured to work alongside our Emirati talent, especially our women engineers, innovators and future leaders who bring vision and dedication to our mission. Saab will continue to champion diversity, invest in the next generation of STEM talent, and align our efforts with the UAE’s national ambitions through strategic partnerships that enhance the country’s defence ecosystem.”
