TRENDS Research Announces Ambitious Plan To Open 25 Global Offices By End Of 2025

TRENDS Research and Advisory is set to expand significantly by establishing 25 new offices globally by the end of 2025. This initiative aligns with its goal to boost its international footprint and promote scientific research and knowledge sharing from the UAE worldwide. Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al Ali, CEO of TRENDS, shared these plans during the Governance of Emerging Technologies Summit 2025.

Dr. Al Ali highlighted that TRENDS will open new physical and virtual offices in various global capitals and cities in the coming months. Official offices are planned for Rome and Paris later this year, with preparations underway for a new office in Sydney, Australia. Currently, TRENDS operates 20 offices worldwide, including recent additions in Washington and Buenos Aires.

The establishment of these offices aims to broaden connections with researchers and global think tanks while enhancing the UAE's role in promoting global knowledge dialogue. Dr. Al Ali confirmed that these efforts are part of TRENDS' strategy to strengthen international research partnerships.

In line with this strategy, TRENDS recently signed a cooperation agreement with Argentina's National Defence College. This partnership is set to pave the way for a joint scientific conference with the UAE National Defence College, further solidifying international collaboration in research.

During the summit, TRENDS also entered into an agreement with X Hub Holding. This collaboration involves companies specialising in artificial intelligence, technology, and research, aiming to support studies through data and statistics provision.

The first project resulting from this partnership will be a public opinion survey conducted soon in Al Ain. This survey represents a tangible outcome of the collaboration between TRENDS and X Hub Holding, showcasing their commitment to leveraging technology for research purposes.

As TRENDS continues its expansion, it remains dedicated to fostering global knowledge exchange and strengthening its role as a leader in scientific research from the UAE to the world.
