Dubai Data Experience enters a new stage in the year of its 50th year, and one of its most important features is the developments that we have achieved thanks to the cooperation of partners in government, semi-governmental and private agencies, where we reached a special equation for the way data teams work, starting with the Dubai Smart Department team at Dubai Data Corporation and the larger data team represented by data heroes So far they have reached 380 data champions.
What distinguishes this development is that it is not related to the technical aspects of the process of classification, opening and sharing data, but rather that we have succeeded in creating a spirit of data, yes a spirit that resembles the spirit of Dubai, which makes it the preferred destination for business, living, entertainment and other fields, especially the preferred destination for the future.
I mentioned to you previously in the moments of data that we have transformed the challenge of creating a data institution and a model for Dubai from a challenge to an opportunity and a global model, as there was no global model applied to the measurement, so Dubai’s achievement was twice: the first is to find a new understanding of the role of data and the role that it can play In a city earlier than its time like Dubai, and the second when we succeeded in giving the latest data solutions a meaning that reflects on human life and government and private work in a manner that is commensurate with the vision of leadership and the endless ambition of everyone who lives and works in Dubai, and therefore our experience has become a global model that cities seek to measure upon, all of this is important but What is it? The next most important achievement?
The unprecedented achievement is to create a spirit of data, but what does this mean for a person in Dubai? It is common to say the spirit of the place or the spirit of beauty, and other descriptions related to the moral side of some aspects of life, but this may be difficult in the case of technology and its applications, but working with the Dubai smart data team and data teams in government and private institutions create a case that agrees with the importance of data , And faith in its necessity through which the spirit of data was born.
The features of Dubai data spirit is the confidence of the wise leadership of the data team and its appreciation for its work, and the departure of each member of the team from the traditional methods in performing its role to be an atypical result, and empowering the leaders of institutions to their teams of data heroes and their colleagues to grant the necessary support to complete the opening and sharing of data, and this spirit has a dimension linked to a reputation Dubai in the eyes of the world, we find a growing interest from the most advanced cities in the world to follow the Dubai march and adopt what suits them.
The spirit of Dubai’s data is the fruit of everyone’s efforts, and its advantage is that it is unconventional and always renewed, and it will be reflected during the year of preparation for the next fifty and ten years on smart decision-making, and to enhance the participation of everyone, individuals and institutions in defining the Dubai that they love.
