Dubai, 01 April 2009
Nakheel, Dubai’s master developer and leader in sustainable development, has attracted the attention of local and international universities - in the first three months of 2009 alone, Nakheel hosted 27 university delegations from across the globe. This puts Dubai’s master developer on track to meet with staff and students at 100 educational institutions over the course of the year.
This news follows a visit from 30 students from the Engineering College of Aarhus, Denmark on 30th March 2009. The students received a presentation from senior management at Nakheel’s Waterfront and Palm Jebel Ali projects, including Marwan Al Qamzi, Executive Managing Director, Nakheel Southern Projects. Topics ranging from engineering to urban planning and land reclamation to architecture were presented.
Marwan Al Qamzi, Executive Managing Director, Nakheel Southern Projects, comments:
“We are delighted to host students from all over the world to witness Nakheel’s iconic projects. It’s a great way to share our expertise with tomorrow’s developers and enhance our relationships with other international organizations.
So many people want to witness the amazing development in Dubai and Nakheel’s iconic projects are part of what makes this emirate so unique. We have hosted 27 universities from USA, Asia and Europe, as well as local universities, in this year alone, with more than 2000 students coming through our doors since March 2008.”
Some of the world’s best universities, including UCLA, Harvard, London South Bank and New York University, have received VIP presentations and site visits from some of Nakheel’s senior management in the last three months.
