Dubai on fast track to becoming world’s smartest city

With its steadfast commitment to innovation, Dubai is on the fast track to becoming the world's smartest city. The driving force behind this remarkable journey is the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. His Highness has set in motion a unique digital transformation journey that aims to make Dubai a global leader among smart cities.

At the centre of this vision is a commitment to elevate the quality of life of Dubai’s people and turn it into the world’s best city to live, work and visit. By embracing advanced new technologies and fostering a culture of constant improvement, Dubai strives to create standards of wellbeing that rival that of the world’s leading cities.

One of the key government organisations leading the emirate’s charge to actualise this vision is the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). Right from the launch of Dubai’s digital transformation strategy, the utility provider has been at the forefront of delivering world-class smart services that cater to the growing needs of Dubai's population. DEWA was one of the first government organisations to receive the 100% Paperless stamp from the Digital Dubai Authority
