Is it possible to digitalize a whole city? And what’s the point? The point is to make Dubai the happiest and most happening city in the world.

Digital Dubai is an operation to turn Dubai into a globally leading digital economy. This will make life easier for everyone by making services and products available to everyone all the time online.

Due to Dubai’s rapid development in various sectors, traditional processes need to be continuously updated. This needs to be done to ensure efficiency and speed.

Leveraging emerging technologies such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, along with harnessing Data Science capabilities, they are recreating everyday experiences for residents and visitors of Dubai. This will help make them more personalized, seamless, efficient and impactful.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum launced Digital Dubai last year. Since its inception, the Digital Dubai Office has launched over 130 initiatives in partnership with government and private sector entities. Some key initiatives include, the Dubai Data Initiative, the Dubai Blockchain Strategy, the Happiness Agenda, the Dubai AI Roadmap and the Dubai Paperless Strategy.

Digital Dubai plays host to a number of emerging technology backed applications. These include Dubai Now, Rashid, Dubai Pulse, Dubai Careers, Smart Employee, Happiness Meter and many others.

Going Digital is a big deal and we are so glad that Digital Dubai is taking this initiative in gifting us a brighter future.
