The Abu Dhabi Executive Council has launched the 2025-2027 digital strategy to strategically position the Emirate as the world’s first fully artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated digital government by 2027.
The AED 13 billion plan will focus on expanding the Emirate’s digital infrastructure, which is expected to contribute over AED 24 billion (USD 6.53 billion) to Abu Dhabi’s gross domestic product (GDP).
Set to be implemented by the Department of Government Enablement (DGE), the strategy seeks to digitize and automate all government processes, adopt sovereign cloud computing, and generate 5,000 jobs to support Emiratization initiatives.
Abu Dhabi’s growing investment in digitizing government services, including data transformation, cloud initiatives, and sovereign AI, demonstrates the Emirate’s goal of becoming a global leader in the AI landscape.
