Uniting all aspects of Dubai's smart city roadmap, Smart Dubai Platform (SDP) will be unlike any other in the world today. Built on an intricately structured digital backbone through a collaborative and interactive process with all city stakeholders, SDP is an embodiment of Smart Dubai's efforts to reshaping the way government services are structured to meet the needs of the customer, not the other way around.

Dubai launched a city wide blockchain strategy in October 2016 with the objective of becoming the first blockchain powered city by 2020.
