The mobile government initiative will take centre stage at the m-Government Conference in Dubai next month.
The two-day conference will host top officials from regional government departments and their international peers to discuss key issues in developing and implementing effective mobile delivery strategies of government services.
Osman Sultan, chief executive of du, will deliver the keynote address, titled “Towards a Smarter World”, highlighting the role of government to create the right platform.
“It is my firm belief that mobile applications are going to touch every single aspect of our lives in future,” Mr Sultan said.
“We are blessed that in the UAE, beyond the available technologies, we have a visionary leadership and a mindset of positive change, which are perhaps the most important enablers that bring about a tangible change. This is the main reason why in the past 40 years the UAE has leap-frogged ahead at a faster rate than any other country in any era.”
The conference will be held on March 24 and 25 at the Ritz Carlton DIFC and will provide delegates with a complete roadmap to roll out a successful mobile service delivery programme, according to Niche Ideas.
“The event has been designed to give attendees a solution they can take back to their workplace,” said Daksha Patel, event director at Niche Ideas.
“Heads of ICT across the region’s government departments and experts internationally will share their valuable knowledge and experience, giving attendees an exceptional opportunity to plan ahead and deliver similarly successful programmes.”
