Technology Innovation Institute

The future doesn't happen by chance, it's something we work hard to build. The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) is a pioneering global research institute that focuses on applied research and new-age technology. TII is the applied research pillar of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) that was established to drive the R&D strategy of Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE. At TII, we attract the brightest scientific minds to help society find solutions to some of its most pressing challenges through working at the intersection of breakthrough technologies to ensure global impact. We have seven initial dedicated research Centres in quantum, autonomous robotics, cryptography, advanced materials, digital security, directed energy and secure systems. We invest significantly in enhancing our cutting-edge research facilities and Centres. We enable access to substantial funding to ensure that our team has the best advanced technology work environment to drive our structured innovation roadmap. We don't just have a powerful vision for the future – we're already creating it.
