He reaffirmed that the graduation of a new cohort of students from Khalifa University, specialised in engineering, science, and medicine, reflects the UAE's commitment to preparing a generation of scientifically and academically qualified talent capable of meeting the needs of crucial sectors in advanced engineering, technology, medicine, and health sciences. Sheikh Khaled commended the role of Khalifa University as a leading academic and research institution, in developing distinguished specialists and researchers capable of creating advanced solutions in the fields of artificial intelligence, medical sciences, and future technologies. In his address, Professor Ebrahim Al Hajri, President of Khalifa University, expressed his gratitude to President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for his visionary leadership and support of Khalifa University and the UAE's academic and research institutions. He also extended his sincere thanks and appreciation to Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan for attending the ceremony and for his continued support of national talent and competencies across various scientific and research fields. Reflecting on the UAE Year of Community and its impact, Professor Ebrahim Al Hajri highlighted the academic achievement of Khalifa University students and reaffirmed the institution's role in preparing future-ready talent to lead and excel in various industries, including the private sector.

The Petroleum Engineering programme has risen to the 7th place maintaining its position in the global top 10 for three consecutive years. Earlier, Khalifa University and Green Waste Solutions Trading DMCC made significant strides in addressing water scarcity through innovative and scalable technologies. Khalifa University developed a solar-powered thermal distillation device that produces freshwater from seawater without generating brine. The system uses sunlight to generate and condense steam directly from the water's surface, reducing heat loss and enhancing energy efficiency. Tested with synthetic and real seawater in Abu Dhabi, the device demonstrated the capacity to produce 2.2 litres of freshwater per square metre per day. It has attracted interest from major national companies including ADNOC and is registered under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) in the United States. Meanwhile, Green Waste Solutions Trading DMCC, based in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, created an integrated system that converts organic waste and wastewater into usable resources, including potable water, renewable energy, and bio-fertilisers. The mobile solar-powered system includes anaerobic digesters, filtration units, power generators, and smart monitoring systems using AI and blockchain technologies. The solution has been successfully implemented in Egypt and Botswana, producing up to 100,000 litres of clean water per day and benefiting over 20,000 people in remote areas. Its flexible design makes it ideal for refugee camps and underserved communities. WAM
