Smart Dubai has opened its pavilion at the 40th annual GITEX Technology Week, taking place at the Dubai World Trade Center from December 6-10, 2020 – the “only global tech show in 2020 to be held live and in-person”.

Bearing the theme ‘Inspiring New Realities’, Smart Dubai’s display at this year’s edition of the event showcases the latest developments and upgrades to its strategies, projects, and services. These include Smart Dubai 2021 Strategy, Dubai Paperless Strategy, Smart Dubai’s various data initiatives, the DubaiNow application, the Government Resource Planning Systems, UAE PASS, Dubai Registers, the City Simulation Dashboard, and Smart Dubai Infrastructure, among others.

This year’s event coincides with Smart Dubai’s 5th anniversary, and to mark the occasion, the display highlights the progress it has made in its mission to transform Dubai into the world’s smartest and happiest city.

Bringing together 20 government entities, Smart Dubai’s Pavilion will showcase advanced solutions being built by Dubai Government to accelerate the city’s digital transformation. It also underlines the collaborative efforts among government entities in the face of the current global crisis, as well as the solutions developed to overcome it and move forward with digital development plans. 

With exhibitors from over 60 countries around the world, GITEX Technology Week 2020 has an agenda packed with seminars, workshops, and displays. This year’s programme focuses on five promising trends that are set to make a significant impact in the near future, namely: 5G, Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Analytics, Future Mobility, Digital Economies, Cybersecurity and Resilience, and Cloud & Edge Computing.

Smart Dubai launched the ‘Leadership Dashboard for Government Resources’ initiative The initiative seeks to develop a dashboard aggregating financial, contractual, and human-resource-related government data, which offers decision makers a holistic view of their organizations, allowing them to make informed decisions based on real-time data. This, in turn, achieves efficiency and helps save on spending  and institutional contracting, all the while promoting sound HR practices.

His Excellency Younus Al Nasser, Assistant Director General of Smart Dubai, CEO of the Dubai Data Establishment, asserted that the close collaboration among various government entities and joint government action were the engine behind the Dashboard’s success – particularly the Dubai Department of Finance and the Dubai Government Human Resources Department.

H.E. Al Nasser asserted that data is a powerful engine that can drive a comprehensive and effective smart transformation. “Smart Dubai has made strides in harnessing data to build innovative solutions and tools that support informed decision-making and ensure optimal investment in people, which ultimately leads to the happiness and wellbeing for individuals and drives the sustainable development of society,” H.E. said.
