Twitter has kept us updated about RTA Dubai’s ongoing initiative of Month of Innovation. And to make it more official and resourceful, RTA in collaboration with Birmingham Dubai has opened a facility to support this initiative. Let’s dive in a little deeper about what is RTA’s strategy.
Transportation Research & Innovation Pavilion (TRIP)
The Transportation Research and Innovation Pavilion has been opened in Dubai by the Roads and Transport Authority in conjunction with the University of Birmingham Dubai.
Many diligent people from the country were present for the inauguration of this facility.
