Innovation City and Khaleej Times have signed a one-year KT Talks partnership, marking a new collaboration aimed at delivering high-impact, credible storytelling around innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship in the UAE.
The partnership will focus on highlighting founders, startups, and emerging ideas shaping Ras Al Khaimah’s fast-growing innovation ecosystem. Through a series of KT Talks, interviews, features, and thought leadership pieces, the collaboration aims to provide audiences with deeper insight into how innovation is being built, scaled, and supported beyond traditional hubs.
Innovation City, based in Ras Al Khaimah, has positioned itself as a platform for entrepreneurs and global talent working across future-facing sectors. These include artificial intelligence, Web3, gaming, digital health, fintech, and other technology-driven industries that are redefining business models and economic growth. The partnership with Khaleej Times is designed to amplify these stories to a wider regional and international audience.
KT Talks will serve as a dedicated platform to explore not only success stories but also the challenges, lessons, and strategies behind building innovative ventures. By combining Innovation City’s on-the-ground ecosystem access with Khaleej Times’ editorial reach and credibility, the initiative aims to create meaningful conversations around entrepreneurship, policy, and emerging trends.
Media leaders say the collaboration reflects a growing demand for trustworthy, nuanced coverage of innovation – particularly as hype around technologies like AI and Web3 continues to rise. The focus will be on substance over buzzwords, giving founders and experts space to share real-world insights and practical experiences.
For Ras Al Khaimah, the partnership supports broader efforts to position the emirate as a competitive destination for startups, investors, and creative talent. As the innovation ecosystem matures, visibility and storytelling play a key role in attracting global attention and fostering collaboration.
Over the next year, audiences can expect regular KT Talks content featuring founders, investors, policymakers, and industry experts discussing where innovation is heading and how the UAE is contributing to global tech conversations.
The Innovation City-Khaleej Times partnership underscores the growing importance of media collaborations in shaping how innovation ecosystems are understood – not just through announcements and funding figures, but through the people, ideas, and impact driving them forward.
