Sarah al-Amiri grew up in Dubai, watching how the city was growing-a skyscraper behind a skyscraper. Since October last year, she has been holding the post of Minister of High Technology of the UAE. Under her control, including a flight to Mars.

Most of the Arab world was mired in violence, poverty and unemployment, and Dubai threw all his strength to send a rocket to Mars in the next three years. And this is only one of the ambitions of the Emirate, including 3D-toe the buildings, control of the city using blockchain technology, the appearance of unmanned taxi and flying motorcycles, writes Bloomberg Businessweek.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
