The council is an organization focused on the defense and security industry, and is charged with developing a locally sustainable sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe SEEDS program in particular offers UAE talent the opportunity to participate in international, value-driven internships and workshops and to positively contribute to their country. This partnership is directly aligned with Saab\u2019s mission to become a vital contributor and partner to the UAE\u2019s defense sector and economy,\u201d a Saab official told Defense News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sensor systems would be used for both civil and military applications, according to Saab\u2019s managing director, Anna-Karin Ros\u00e9n, who was quoted in a company news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur partnership with Saab is an example of an international partnership that is beneficial for both parties,\u201d Tareq Abdulraheem Al Hosani, the CEO of Tawazun Economic Council, said in the release. \u201cTogether, Tawazun and Saab will continue to develop and build up the UAE\u2019s critical technical capabilities and national competencies and skills, fortifying our contribution to the UAE.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SEEDS program was launched in February 2019 to provide Emirati nationals at senior and mid-management levels as well as fresh graduates of certain specialties the opportunity to work alongside international defense and aerospace manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2020, Emirati defense industry conglomerate Edge Group joined the SEEDS program under a memorandum of understanding signed with the Tawazun Economic Council. Other program partners include Lockheed Martin of the United States; France\u2019s Thales, Nexter Systems, and Naval Group; Canada\u2019s CAE; and Germany\u2019s Diehl
