The workshop was attended by H.E. Abdulaziz Al Nuaimi, Assistant Undersecretary for

Entrepreneurship and the Economic Affairs Regulatory Sector at the Ministry of Economy,

along with 30 officials from the Economic Activities Commission and licensing directors
representing different local authorities and municipalities in the country.

The launch of Economic Activities Platform marks a significant advancement in standardising

economic activities nationwide, aligning them with international standards. It offers precise

and updated information on the laws and regulations governing specific activities, thereby

enhancing transparency, streamlining procedures, and saving time and effort.

H.E. Abdulaziz Al Nuaimi emphasised that the platform marks a major milestone in UAE's

digital transformation, streamlining electronic transactions and eliminating the use of
hardcopies of papers in all economic and commercial transactions.“This reinforces the UAE's

new knowledge and innovation-based economic model, in line with the 'We the UAE 2031'

vision of establishing the country as a global leader with an advanced system by the next

decade,” H.E. added.

The workshop explored the mechanisms of using the platform and its technological tools

offered to different organisations. It covered key aspects such as digital identity registration,
accessing the list of approved federal economic activities, and a detailed breakdown of the

activity classifications based on the Standard Global Classification system, covering sectors,

categories and branches. Participants also engaged in hands-on practice for adding,

modifying, and removing activities, alongside an overview of tools for economic data analysis

and report preparation.

Additionally, the workshop shed light on the integrated services provided by the platform,

including receiving requests of economic activities from local authorities for issuing licenses,
showcasing strategic activities in each emirate, and fostering connection between local

economic activities and standard global classifications.

The workshop is part of the Ministry of Economy's ongoing efforts to enhance the National

Economic Register (NER), which offers the largest unified and reliable database for all

commercial licenses in the UAE. The NER plays a crucial role in standardising the procedures

and requirements for establishing businesses through a unified national portal. This portal
connects over 46 entities in the country and includes the national identity of the Unified
