dairy products, rice, sugar, poultry, legumes, bread, and wheat. The platform provides real-time
tracking of price movements across the UAE. It enables the ministry and local authorities to
access real-time price data, ensuring compliance with the price ceilings established under
pricing policy.

Emirates Health Services’ Digital Twin is designed to enhance hospital operations using real-
time, data-driven insights. The initiative optimises hospital workflows, improving resource
allocation and efficiency, which ultimately leads to better patient outcomes. Hospitals can
analyse patient flow, referral patterns, and appointment scheduling, as well as
benefit from critical insights that improve emergency response.
The Ministry of Interior’s Smart Examiner is a special technologically advanced car equipped
with sensors, GPS, and facial recognition cameras. The car autonomously assesses driving
tests without the need for an in-person supervisor, streamlining the exam process and saving on
resources. The system leverages AI-supported data analysis to identify traffic violations. It also
offers a one-day driving test service, reducing the typical licensing process from between three
and six months to just 24 hours.
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security showcased the world’s
first-of-its-kind Smart and Fast travel system. This innovation creates a database of air travellers
using facial recognition, eliminating the need for pre-registration. The system significantly
enhances the passenger journey. In 2024, over 4.7 million travellers benefited from the system,
reducing the average processing time at smart gates to just 8.7 seconds.

Dubai Civil Aviation Authority showcased a drone delivery system that will support Dubai’s plans
to lead the development of smart transport solutions. The system is part of the Dubai Program to
Enable Drone Transportation and aligns with several other initiatives, including
the Dubai Robotics and Automation Program, the Dubai Research and Development
Programme, the Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence, and the Drone Delivery
Programme. It is estimated that by 2030, drones will conduct a third of deliveries in the city.

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority’s (RTA) LiDAR Technology for Road Assessment uses
LiDAR technology and digital imaging for the first time to assess the condition of roads. The
assessments are accurate and safe, contributing to a database that will help to
maintain road standards in the future as transport systems evolve. The programme achieved a
high ACI ranking and can assess 80km of road per day. It can conduct assessments three times
faster than visual assessments alone.

Dubai Airports’ smart aircraft diversion monitoring system leverages AI and cameras to enhance
the efficiency of aircraft operations by monitoring, analysing and predicting activities in real time.
The solution helps airports, airlines, ground handlers and air traffic control by improving
turnaround efficiency, reducing delays, optimising resources, supporting coordination, and
automating manual processes. The benefits include reducing delays, reducing costs and data-
driven decision making to help continuously improve performance.

Dubai Municipality’s Building X provides real-time data on buildings, helping to increase
efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and promote a more sustainable and smart user
experience. The innovation helps Dubai Municipality’s General Maintenance Department save
time and costs related to maintenance work by predicting faults before they occur.

Fujairah Environment Authority’s smart system for mapping water resources and
managing flood risks in Fujairah was developed to address environmental and climate
