UAE-UK initiative to drive innovation
UAE team presents government best practices at Buckingham Palace
In a joint initiative, the UAE and the UK are developing the best practices in government innovation with the aim of benefiting both countries.
Among a number of joint initiatives is a diploma in innovation in government developed and implemented by the University of Cambridge together with the Mohammad Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation.
A UAE delegation of experts in government innovation recently presented the best practices developed by the UAE’s government innovation team at Buckingham Palace.
The presentation was made in the presence of the Duke of York, Prince Andrew.
“Our aim is to develop, share and benchmark global best practices in government innovation that answer and meet the needs of progressive and open governance,” said Mohammad Al Gergawi, UAE Minister for Cabinet Affairs and the Future.
The team presenting to Prince Andrew represented members of the Mohammad Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation, a UAE-based think-tank and innovation centre that aims to drive the development of leading-edge government services and facilities that truly benefit citizens.
“We are delighted to share best practices developed in the UAE, as well as learn from our peers and colleagues. Our presentation shows the strong partnership between the UAE and the UK continues to reap true benefits for both communities,” said Al Gergawi.
The UAE’s focus on innovation in government comes as part of a wide-ranging programme of government reform and revitalisation developed in the country over the past decade.
