Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), unveiled the launch of the third phase of the Dubai 10X initiative. The announcement took place in the presence of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai.
Under the guidance of DFF, the Dubai 10X initiative aims to drive a paradigm shift in the mindset of government employees, revolutionizing government processes and positioning Dubai as a global benchmark for progressive governance.
During a meeting with senior government officials, Sheikh Hamdan emphasized the visionary approach behind the initiative. He said, “In 2017, His Highness 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 conceptualize 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 Dubai 10X initiative has already witnessed notable success in fostering innovation and enhancing government services. By encouraging government entities to think beyond conventional boundaries, the initiative aims to propel Dubai’s progress and establish the city as a global leader in shaping the future.
As Dubai enters this new phase of the initiative, the focus will be on identifying and executing one transformative project that will contribute to the city’s growth and enhance the lives of its residents. The project will be led by a government official who will head a joint taskforce consisting of representatives from diverse government entities. This collaborative approach will ensure the alignment and synergy necessary to drive impactful change.
With the launch of the third phase, the Dubai 10X initiative reaffirms its commitment to accelerating the pace of innovation, embracing emerging technologies, and fostering an environment of forward-thinking governance. The initiative continues to reinforce Dubai’s position as a global pioneer in shaping a prosperous and sustainable future.
