Al Neyadi underlined the message his presence on the International Space Station conveys, along with the achievements of astronaut Hazzaa Al Mansoori and future Arab spacefarers. He believes that these accomplishments symbolize the potential for advancing Arab societies and their cultural legacy.
Al Neyadi invited exceptional Arab minds and science enthusiasts to engage with the initiative, bolster Arab self-assurance, and participate in catalyzing a scientific revival across the Arab world.

This initiative serves as an intellectual hub, aligning with Sheikh Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s aspiration for a ‘brain regain’ in the Arab world. By recognizing and empowering these talents, the initiative seeks to retain their brilliance and transform them into role models for aspiring Arab talents, aligning with the Sheikh’s visionary perspective.
