The Higher Committee for Government Digital Transformation launched the second edition of the UAE Government Digital
Readiness Retreat, sponsored by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA).

The event was attended by six ministers, 20 speakers, and over 300 government officials representing 50 federal, local, and

ministerial entities, with the aim of highlighting milestones of government digital transformation journey, exploring modern digital
business models for government, eliminating digital bureaucracy, and boosting national digital integration.

The retreat unveiled the first-ever report on government digital transformation across 12 government sectors and launched four
digital initiatives, including UAE University’s high-performance computing platform, first government digital community dedicated to
national digital integration, the Unified Design Principles for Government Websites, and the GovTech platform. The event hosted
seven signing ceremonies of memoranda of understanding (MoUs) for enhancing digital collaboration across sectors, as well as
three digital labs led by select digital leaders who explored eliminating digital bureaucracy, the future of APIs, and the principle of
‘One-Time Data Request’ in government digital processes to streamline government services.
