UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum affirmed the UAE's keenness to inspire governments around the world to employ innovation to create solutions that enrich human life and raise societies. He stressed that creative governments are the ones that employ technology Innovations serve people.
This came during the inauguration of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Director of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Center for Government Innovation at the 7th World Summit of Governments.
"Innovation is a driving force for humanity, a catalyst for the development of vital sectors, and a global language whose owners share a passion for developing experiences, tools and solutions to the challenges," he said. "We see innovation as a mechanism and a tool to develop a government-centered approach. And experiments to inspire them to develop their own experiences ».
"Creative governments are the ones that employ technology and turn it into innovations that serve people," said His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. "Creative governments are governments of ideas that adopt a realistic perspective that harnesses the potential to achieve achievement. Creative governments demonstrate that innovation is not exclusive to anyone." . His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Director of the World Summit Organization for Governments, Omar Bin Sultan Al Ulama and Assistant Director General for Strategy and Innovation at the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, Huda Al Hashimi.
Technology for Human Empowerment
The Innovation of Creative Governments, organized by the Mohammed bin Rashid Center for Innovation for the fourth year in a row under the slogan "Your Will Makes Change," embodies the goals of the World Summit of Governments in adopting innovation as a cornerstone for developing governments around the world and improving people's quality of life. China, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Canada, Singapore, Pakistan, Switzerland and the Netherlands. They represent solutions to the challenges of refugee integration, agriculture, health and human empowerment. The innovations were selected after a joint research and evaluation process between the Mohammed bin Rashid Center for Government Innovation and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which involved more than 540 nominations from 84 countries, to be presented as part of "Innovations of Creative Governments" at the World Summit of Governments.
The research and evaluation process identified a number of new global trends in government innovation, including efforts to make the government more transparent, to enhance community confidence and stimulate innovation. The study and evaluation also revealed that one of the most prominent new trends in government innovation has transformed the world into a readable version of the machines. The world is being translated into two bits, which can be read automatically and integrated into algorithms that support operations Decision-making and service development, which is a catalyst for a new generation of innovations that embrace emerging technology.
Algorithms that integrate refugees into society
As the refugee crisis around the world intensified, the German city of Hamburg introduced the Refugee Housing Project to meet the global challenge of using artificial intelligence technology and simulation algorithms in partnership with the population to find places for refugees, using enhanced virtual reality models to determine the locations available for their housing.
In order to employ refugees and accelerate their integration into the community, the Swiss Migration Agency has introduced an innovation that uses data technology to identify the best areas for suitable employment opportunities, using an innovative algorithm to identify areas where the requirements of their work are compatible with refugee skills and expertise.
Plan your life with your digital twin
The Finnish Ministry of Finance has created Aurora to enable people to define their digital lifestyle by advising the user, predicting the future of his or her current job, and providing options to keep up with future professional changes by suggesting ways to develop the capabilities and qualifications of each user according to his or her data.
Urban programming in the hands of the population
As part of the global efforts to reduce pollution of the world's oceans, Indonesia's second largest city, Surabaya, allowed its residents to use buses free of charge for their commitment to collect plastic cans instead of dumping them in waste, thus contributing to enhancing people's awareness and responsibility for the environment. Collect an average of 7.5 tons of plastic per month per bus.
The city of Singapore has artificial intelligence in monitoring the behavior of bus drivers and predicting the possibility of traffic accidents. Their road performance information has been used to develop an accident prediction algorithm and then build on it to retrain drivers in each case.
The Dutch city of Tilburg has also developed a smart application to improve road safety in crowded areas, support government efforts to enhance the security of road users, and meet the needs of different populations. The application works to identify geographical locations and sensor-based traffic signals to give older people and people more time to cross the path.
Rewards to promote a healthy lifestyle
In order to motivate people to increase their physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, the Canadian Health Authority has developed the Carrot Rewards application, which is based on the reward system using loyalty points for each step they take. In one year, , Raising the awareness of individuals about the risks of poor levels of physical activity by 29%, and attracted more than one million users. Technology in the development of agriculture One of the Chinese enterprises in the field of environmental technology introduced an innovation based on the use of electricity in the development of agricultural methods, increasing food production without depleting natural resources, and succeeded in increasing the yield of vegetables by 30%, reducing the use of pesticides by 70-100% And reducing the use of fertilizers by more than 20%.
Sustainable transport protects the environment
Innovations by creative governments offer the Sustainable Transportation Project in Karachi, developed by the Pakistani city to promote environmental protection practices by converting animal waste into organic gas that uses fuel for buses, thereby reducing the negative impacts of fuel use on the environment.
The "Innovations of Creative Governments" represent an exploratory exploration of inspiring experiences through the World Summit of Governments platform, the largest open laboratory for developing experiences and building the capacity of governments to serve people.
Vice President of the State:
"Through the summit, we want to present a compendium of knowledge and experience to inspire governments to develop their own experiences."
«Creative governments are models that prove that innovation is not exclusive to anyone».
