DUBAI, UAE - EQS Newswire - 2 July 2024 - EANAN Al Samma (
https://EANAN.ae/),
a UAE-based technology company leading the next evolutionary step in
transportation through advanced air mobility (AAM), has signed a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the University of Dubai (UD),
Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and Zhuji SRJL Materials Laboratory to
foster international cooperation in applied sciences and expand the
dissemination of academic and research information.
The MoU was signed by Dr Eesa M. Al Bastaki, President of UD, Raymund
Scheffler, Shareholder at EANAN, Mr. Cheng Jin, Member of Standing
Committee of University Board of XJTU and Dr Lei Li, Executive Director
of SRJL during a ceremony in the presence of representatives from all

academic and practical experience for all parties involved.
As part of this collaboration, a state-of-the-art laboratory will be
established at the University of Dubai. This facility aims to promote
collaborative efforts between the parties, advance academic research,
integrate theoretical knowledge with practical experience, provide
students with hands-on training in their field, and strengthen the
connections between experts and students from diverse backgrounds. These
key objectives align with the rapidly growing Advanced Aerial Mobility
industry in the UAE, one of the fastest-expanding markets in aerospace.
Raymund Scheffler, Shareholder of EANAN, said: "We are honoured
to collaborate with the key academic and industry specialists including
the University of Dubai, XJTU and SRJL to contribute to the development
of the field of air mobility. This MOU will allow us to leverage our
combined strengths to develop innovative technologies and solutions that
will drive the future of the air mobility sector. We look forward to
working closely with our partners to foster competence exchange,
cultivate talent, and make a tangible impact on the industry."
The setting up of an exclusive laboratory at Dubai holds significance as
it seeks to further strengthen ties between the UAE and China,
fostering innovation and technological advancements through shared
expertise and resources.
Dr Eesa M. Al Bastaki, President University of Dubai: "We, at the
University of Dubai, are pleased to enter into a strategic partnership
with EANAN, one of the leading technology companies in the UAE, along
with XJTU and SRJL. This important agreement aims to strengthen academic
cooperation and create a fruitful platform for scientific research. It
further aligns with our mission to establish deep collaboration between
the UAE and international academic and business societies as well as to
establish robust ties to different cultures. Furthermore, we are
thrilled to be part of this key partnership as it plays a vital role in
supporting the UAE's ambitious goal to become a global leader in the air
mobility and electric motors industry by promoting the development of
innovative technologies in this sector."
Cheng Jin, Member of Standing Committee of University Board of XJTU: "XJTU
is currently pursuing a strategy for integration of education and
industries. Collaborations with UD, EANAN, SRJL through this MoU are a
very important part of this strategy and will be mutually beneficial to
all the parties involved. The establishment of the joint laboratory will
certainly provide a great opportunity for academic and research staff
to get insight into the related fields. The platform will serve as an
important base for achieving remarkable progress in science, research
and industries in the future. Moreover, it will act as an important link
among our partners, as well as between China and the UAE, promoting
cooperation and strengthening the friendship between the people in the
two countries."
Dr Lei Li, Executive Director of SRJL: "As a high-energy
R&D and industrial incubation platform based on international
cooperation, the SRJL focuses on the research of key common technologies
in material surface treatment and material body enhancement. The
establishment of this joint laboratory signifies that we will engage in
deeper cooperation in broader fields such as new materials, new energy
equipment, and aircraft power systems. We will work together with a more
pragmatic attitude and keen insight to overcome difficulties on the
path of scientific research and pursue higher technological
achievements."
In line with the collaboration, the University of Dubai will offer all
on-site support and facilities required for the establishment of the
laboratory while EANAN will be responsible for confirming its
functionality. The MOU enables parties to send delegates to learn each
other's educational system and curriculum design. Additionally, the
agreement mandates that postdoctoral from all of the parties should
fulfil the requirements set forth by the receiving party to be admitted
to a degree-granting or non-degree-granting programme.
Established in Dubai, EANAN is the first company to deliver autonomous
multi-copter and flying wing aircraft from its production facility in
the country surpassing the rigorous demands and regulatory requirements
of the aviation industry.
