"We are delighted to become a member of the HCT Foundation 100 Club. Through ADBIC's new partnership with HCT, we will now be able to provide HCT students with the opportunities to develop skills and careers in industrial engineering. By lending our direct support and backing, we will help HCT to promote a strong national workforce and introduce innovative technologies to the UAE and the GCC region."
said Al Nowais.

In less than one year, the Foundation has added 23 companies who have made significant gifts to its 100 Club.
