government service provision.

UAE National Economic Registry

Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, emphasised that the UAE has adopted

this innovative initiative to enhance the sustainable digital readiness of government entities
and elevate the government services ecosystem, making it more flexible and competitive.

Bin Touq said: “The ‘Growth’ platform is a remarkable achievement in advancing the

national economy. It eliminates bureaucratic hurdles and delivers highly efficient

government services, ensuring the UAE offers the best government services globally.”

The platform provides information on more than 2,000 economic activities across the UAE
and offers proactive services to a broad spectrum of users, including decision-makers,
business owners, investors, and research centres.

It enables users to inquire about any business licence, access investment opportunities, and
prepare studies on market trends, supporting business growth and government digital

management of economic activities using AI technologies.

Bin Touq highlighted that the NER connects 46 entities in the country, utilising the unified
economic number (ERN) to integrate data between federal and local government bodies,

furthering the UAE’s digital transformation of services and reducing the need for
paperwork.

This is aligned with the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision of enhancing the UAE’s leadership in

government service provision.
