The billboard was strategically positioned at the entrance of the stunning Burj

Commenting on the Skydive Dubai's association with Go Fast for the billboard,

Mr. Nasser Al Neyadi, Chairman of Skydive Dubai, said: "This is an epic

moment, and we are very proud to be part of it. This initiative is another

example showcasing

Dubai

as a world leader in innovation and technology. The

billboard came into being with a simple idea that has transformed into an

exceptional event to attract a global audience. Our gratitude to our partners,

Go Fast and Emaar Properties, without whose support, this would not have

been possible."

"Skydive Dubai would like to acknowledge that the creation of such a

monumental dropzone would not be possible without the support and

extraordinary vision of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid

al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council and President of the

Dubai Sports Council."

Skydive

Dubai

is supported by Emaar Properties PJSC, the global property

developer of iconic projects, and the provider of premier lifestyles. Emaar has

and The Dubai Fountain, in addition to homes, commercial offices and leisure

attractions.

Mr. Troy Widgery, CEO of Go Fast, commented on the event, saying, "We are

very happy to be in

Dubai

. During our first visit two years ago, the city left us

mesmerized. Its people and the culture here is amazing. We were immediately

convinced to bring Go Fast to the UAE and have introduced the Go Fast Halal

Energy Formula, the first of its kind in the world, developed especially for this

region. We are certain that the brand will be received very well here. We are

grateful for the support of Skydive Dubai for our venture in this part of the

world. With this billboard, we want the people to know that we will be here

soon."
