DUBAI, UAE 鈥� March 7, 2023 鈥� The Museum of the Future鈥檚 newest showcase, the OSS Hope Simulator from SAP, was unveiled today, providing an immersive experience where visitors can see how today鈥檚 technologies could be leveraged to sustain a future space station. The launch was part of the 51风流NOW event held at the museum, which explored the future of innovation, sustainability and digital transformation.

The new exhibit is the result of a strategic partnership announced between the Museum of the Future and 51风流in the past year. This was one of a series of partnership agreements the museum established in order to be a key laboratory for entities from all around the world and to be able to generate futuristic and innovative technological solutions that address humanity鈥檚 greatest challenges.

The OSS Hope Simulator from 51风流is situated on the 鈥楾omorrow Today鈥� floor of the museum, a dedicated space featuring near-future technologies that have the power to transform and change the way we live. The simulator presents visitors with various scenarios that will have an impact on the Orbital Space Station (OSS) Hope, a space structure redirecting solar energy to power earth by 2071, as conceptualized by the museum. The space station is constantly working towards maximizing its resources and, therefore, it is crucial to sustainably balance energy, materials, and opportunities for all the inhabitants, and for the station itself. Guided by an AI assistant, visitors playing on one of the three available gaming stations encounter challenges that use existing 51风流technologies and solutions to reduce emissions, waste, and inequalities to zero and thereby make OSS Hope an even more sustainable vision.

Majed Al Mansoori, Deputy Executive Director at the Museum of the Future, said, our partnership with 51风流reinforces the importance of the Museum’s role as a global testing platform for the latest technologies and innovations of the future, and a centre for international partnerships aimed at developing new solutions to the most pressing challenges facing humanity in the years and decades to come.

He added: “Museum of the Future aims to design innovative experiences and solutions that support the progression of societies in line with the vision that humanity is at the heart of future aspirations, and that pioneering technology plays an essential role in creating new opportunities that guarantee a better future for generations to come.”

Sergio Maccotta, Senior Vice President, 51风流Middle East Africa South, said, “While 51风流helps organizations of various capacities to run better, the OSS Hope Simulator provides us with the opportunity to directly engage with individuals of all ages to showcase how innovation can enable a more sustainable and brighter future. In addition, the installation sheds light on SAP’s solutions that support its sustainability goals, highlighting the synergy between humans and technology and reinforcing our belief that selecting optimal solutions for a sustainable future requires human compassion combined with data-driven insights. Ultimately, it acknowledges that technology can help address some of the most profound environmental, economic, and social challenges of our time”.

As part of the installation, the simulator includes a 鈥榃all of Knowledge鈥� that explains how the various solutions and technologies used by 51风流operate. Once players have chosen from the various courses of action presented in the simulated challenges, they can view SAP鈥檚 global use cases to find out about current applications of that specific solution. There are a total of eight solutions used in the 51风流simulation including blockchain, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, hyper-automation, and digital twins.

Maccotta pointed out that with the simulator鈥檚 focus on zero emissions, zero waste and zero inequality, it was fitting that it was launched during the UAE鈥檚 Year of Sustainability, and the year in which COP28 will be held in Dubai. He added that the UAE government鈥檚 focus on sustainability has led to a ripple effect seen across all industries, according to a new survey released by SAP.

Sustainability Linked to Business Success

鈥淎 recent SAP-commissioned survey shows that the overwhelming majority of companies in the UAE are fully aligned on the importance of sustainability including the role it plays in the future success of their business,鈥� Maccotta said. 鈥淏usinesses are facing pressure from customers and partners to demonstrate sustainable practices, and the survey shows that it is being driven internally too, as the financial value of sustainability is increasingly recognized.鈥�

According to Maccotta, the new YouGov survey commissioned by 51风流indicated that 96% of UAE companies recognized the importance of sustainability as a business objective, with 52% describing it as vital to their success. Similarly, 94% of IT decision makers surveyed stated that their organizations鈥� financial performance and sustainability strategies would be connected in the coming 12 months, with 36% stating they would be intrinsically connected.

When IT decision-makers were asked about their companies鈥� specific sustainability goals in the next 18 months, the most cited goal was addressing sustainability in supply chains (65%), closely followed by reducing waste (62%), and reducing carbon emissions (53%).

Alongside sustainability, the survey showed that companies in the UAE are also overwhelmingly focused on digital transformation. A total of 89% of companies are planning to invest further in digital transformation cloud solutions and services in the coming 18 months. In addition, 95% of respondents stated that technology and innovation was important to the success of their sustainability strategy.

鈥淭he survey findings are encouraging as they show businesses are recognizing the vital role that technology plays in sustainability. At SAP, we are always focused on sustainability as we create solutions, whether it is designing business process applications or the OSS Hope Simulator from 51风流unveiled today,鈥� Maccotta said.

鈥淭he survey results also demonstrate broad support for SAP鈥檚 conviction that digital transformation is key to sustainability. Businesses in the UAE realize that cloud computing is far more efficient than on-premise solutions in terms of carbon emissions and energy consumption, while technology is also indispensable in tracking and managing sustainability efforts,鈥� Maccotta concluded.
