Policy paper, Zayed University 2024

In this research, I explored how the UAE can benefit from engaging with the Three Seas Initiative, a

regional infrastructure platform in Eastern Europe. I analyzed its relevance to the UAE’s investment

goals—especially under Vision 2030—and proposed policy options for involvement. My main

recommendation was for the UAE to pursue observer or partner status in the initiative to strengthen its

presence in Europe, support clean energy and digital projects, and expand its global influence.
