experience for their future careers, including
exposure to a fast-paced, professional and
forward-thinking multinational business

series of lectures offered by HPE executives
on topics including AI, high performance
computing and hybrid cloud.
“We are proud to support students in their
goal to advance their careers and contribute
to the UAE business arena through our
Emiratisation programme,” said Wolfgang
Egger, Managing Director, Middle East and

internship opportunities at a dynamic
multinational business like HPE, we can
support the UAE’s efforts encouraging
young people into the private sector.”

ayer, a leading life sciences company,
focused on digitally transforming
the healthcare sector at the Digital
Transformation forum, Digitrans 2019,
in Dubai.
With a focus on emerging technologies
such as AI, 3D technology and IoT, this
two-day forum brought together regional
leaders from across all industries to
discuss best practices and strategies that
can fuel the region’s drive to create an
innovation-led economy.
Providing world-class healthcare is one
of the key six pillars of the UAE National
Agenda, which is in line with Vision 2021
that aims at enabling the country to
achieve a world-class healthcare system.
To achieve this goal, the UAE
government is encouraging public-
private partnerships to ensure all public

and private hospitals offer patient-
focused and quality healthcare.
Taking this objective forward, Eugene
Borukhovich, Global Head Digital Health
at Bayer, hosted a session titled ‘Pharma
Digital Transformation: Changing the
Experience of Health’.
“Digital Transformation has brought
sweeping changes within the healthcare
industry. It has changed the way we
work, do business and meet customer
expectations,” said Borukhovich.
“Keeping this in mind, Digitrans
2019 served as an ideal platform to
lay emphasis on the importance of
leveraging emerging technologies and
the potential demonstrated by start-ups
accelerate the cycle of innovation within
the healthcare industry, while keeping
pace with the evolving digital age.”
