The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) intensifies its efforts to advance
the ‘Talent 2033’ Project, a strategic initiative aimed at building a roadmap to strategically

elevate Dubai’s workforce and solidify the emirate’s position as a globally competitive hub for
talent and innovation. Launched in March 2024, the project aligns with the ambitious Dubai

Economic Agenda ‘D33,’ which aims to double the economy and attract top global talent over

The ‘Talent 2033’ project is focused on several key objectives, including significantly increasing
the proportion of highly skilled professionals, with the aim of doubling their share to make up
two-thirds of Dubai’s workforce by 2033, in line with the ambition to leverage technology

across key sectors. This represents a strategic shift from primarily labour-driven growth to a
model where 50 per cent of growth is productivity-led. Additionally, the initiative seeks to

increase the participation of women in the workforce by 50 per cent and expand the talent pool
by opening talent corridors for key occupations and focus on home-grown talent to address

social and practical needs. It also seeks to develop strategic programs that will enhance the
future capabilities and competencies of talent, regardless of nationality.

Another critical goal is to create advanced analytical tools to bolster the analytical capabilities

of both public and private sector organisations, as well as government entities, substantially
aiding efforts to achieve the initiative’s diverse objectives. In addition to facilitating the

retention and nurturing of global talent in both sectors, the project also aims to accelerate
the integration of 65,000 Emiratis into the private sector, supporting the transformation efforts
within Dubai’s talent sector. These efforts are expected to boost participation of locals in the
