The announced projects also fall within an integrated file of initiatives and programs emanating from the Digital Transformation Strategy with the aim of consolidating the foundations and concepts of a comprehensive and integrated digital life in the UAE while confirming the UAE’s global position as a leading and advanced country in the field of digital government and in embracing emerging technologies to serve customers and support applications that contribute to establishing an attractive digital economic environment.

We are pleased that the ICT sector is the sector that supports progress in all fields, especially the economic field, through the consolidation of the digital economy, which enhances the UAE’s leading position on the global map. In addition, our transformation projects for the current stage are related to economy, youth and the various segments of customers, which constitute the main headlines for creating the desired future.”
The Digital Vault project contributes to enabling the telecom, banking, insurance and private sectors to design and provide seamless digital services to customers in a way that enhances the quality of life in the UAE on the grounds of ease, trust and privacy, allowing the sharing of reliable data and documents with the customer’s approval. These services are designed in line with the laws and policies of the UAE, including the Electronic Transactions and Trust Services Law and the Personal Data Protection Law.
The Children's Communication Services Program is a special project with an important social dimension. It includes launching telecom services and packages for minors in cooperation with the licensees to provide telecom services safely, which facilitates the use of modern technology such as smartwatches and wearable devices. This initiative will be the first of its kind in the region, and it keeps pace with the increasing use of digital technologies by children in the fields of education, entertainment and others. The initiative aims to regulate the use of telecom services by minors, protect this segment of society and encourage minors to safely engage in the use of technology.
The Digital Customer Journey Quality Measurement Program project aims to improve user experiences and support decision-making through a data analysis platform that gives a deeper understanding of applications using AI in operations, which leads to providing interactive and proactive monitoring and analysis to identify the root causes of errors and slowdowns in operations related to service provision and make the services seamless and available around the clock.
This project aims to improve customer happiness by prioritizing a better user experience at the level of government services in general, with the aim of achieving the UAE vision in the "Forward Ecosystem" pillar and the national directions in providing the best government services.
