Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees at  Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), has launched the third phase of the Dubai 10X initiative.

Under the purview of DFF, the 10X initiative aims to enhance government processes and position the emirate as a global benchmark for progressive governance.

According to an official press release, during a meeting held with senior government officials, Sheikh Hamdan said: “In 2017, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, posed a pivotal question to 37 director generals of Dubai Government entities: How can Dubai surpass the world’s leading cities? In response, we embarked on the Dubai 10X initiative, aiming to amplify our current accomplishments and establish Dubai as a frontrunner among the world’s future cities.

“During the initial phase, we requested participating entities to conceptualise and develop their own projects. In the second phase, we asked them to cooperate to launch joint projects. Today, we launch the third phase of this initiative with a broader vision to implement one dynamic, pivotal project that will have a significant impact on Dubai and its people. The project will be headed by a government official leading a joint taskforce from various government entities.”

 

The approved project, which will be announced in due course, will be jointly implemented by a group of government entities and private sector organisations and assessed for its impact on the community.

Sheikh Hamdan added: “Through the Dubai 10X initiative, we have succeeded in developing a new methodology for government processes, changing the mindset of our employees and achieving a quantum leap in how we work. We want to build on this positive change and take our success to a new level.

“We share the outcomes of Dubai 10X with the world, including 42 innovative projects in various future-focused fields that were developed in the spirit of one team. This initiative embodies Dubai’s ambition to lead the world in government services driven by a foresight-focused mindset.”

According to the Dubai Media Office, the Crown Prince said the Dubai 10X model will help governments around the world embrace disruptive innovation and design the future in an unconventional way, and will also “anticipate the needs of societies and enhance quality of life through developing projects that meet the requirements of vital government and economic sectors”.
