The requirements to preserve the “legacy of the Expo” are not difficult, but certainly not easy, and to turn the matter into an institutional race to achieve this is an experience that was previously achieved, “whether through the Dubai International Exhibition of Government Achievements”, which is organized by the Dubai Government Excellence Program of the General Secretariat of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Dubai. , embodying its role in enhancing Dubai's global position.

Among the most prominent of these is the integrated institutional strategy, which includes several axes, the most important of which is the axis of achieving integration between the organs of the center of government, the axis of improving the efficiency of government work, and the axis of integration with partners, in addition to achieving institutional integration and creating a stimulating environment to achieve more creativity and innovation in the development of government work.

Also, the creation, addition and launch of the category of the best entity in supporting “Expo 2020”, as part of the “Special Honor” for the ceremony of the Dubai Program for Excellence in Government Performance during the years 2018 and 2019, reflects institutional genius and awareness of the positive competitive nature, and directing it to achieve integration in partnership with the “Expo 2020” office. , directed this nature towards integrative leaps that turned into unprecedented success stories.

The keenness to encourage government agencies to participate more efficiently and effectively in supporting Expo 2020, and to set evaluation criteria for this category in cooperation with the competent authority, and to circulate and explain them to government agencies through a series of training workshops and dialogue forums, contributed with the participation of all concerned parties, to support the efforts of The rational government and the achievement of unprecedented success for this exhibition, and consolidated the position of the state in general and Dubai in particular as a global center for the most important international events in its various fields (whether economic, political, cultural, social and sports), and reflected an institutional belief that excellence does not stop at one field, and that there are no limits It is part of an integrated system of creativity, innovation, and anticipation and readiness of a future that we look forward to and rush to.

What has been achieved is the practical application of the highest standards of excellence in work performance from all sides, a qualitative development of global service facilities and the dedication of the concepts of creativity and excellence, not only to make our guests accustomed to being proactive in providing everything that is impressive, new and distinct, but the development of a model measurement matrix and redefining the concepts of events International in conjunction with the highest standards of sustainability.

Do we expect new, continuous and sustainable cooperation with the Dubai Award for Excellence in Governmental Performance, and perhaps the Mohammed bin Rashid Award for Excellence in Governmental Performance?

Do we see an institutional competitive drive for the various local and federal entities towards further progress?

Undoubtedly, the addition of the category “Best Supporting Entity for Expo 2020 Dubai” had a positive impact that contributed to achieving institutional integration and synergy of efforts and joint work among all, whose impact was demonstrated by the unprecedented success of “Expo 2020 Dubai.”

Completing the effective role played by government agencies in supporting the hosting file, continuing support and expanding the scope of work will achieve sustainability for excellence, and a greater motivation to provide more support for a national project that has become a source of international pride and a global civilizational beacon.

Implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, to host the 28th session of the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change “28 COP” at the Dubai Expo City, will contribute to taking institutional steps towards the sustainability of this position. And its consolidation, reinforced by the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, towards the sustainable development of the city.

Will we see a move to government offices (federal and local) so that the new city becomes its headquarters instead of Downtown Dubai?

Will we see categories and prizes for distinction similar to what was previously applied?

Will partnerships with the private sector at all levels (micro, small and medium, family businesses and even international companies) contribute to the development of new projects in the region?

Will we see innovative financing solutions stimulated by the Central Bank with incentives for the participating banks, the Ministry of Economy and others, to support these investments and to contribute to their transformation into a capital of creativity, innovation, technology and future readiness?

We will see that soon, as Dubai is the capital of global creativity... and the UAE is its home.

Dubai is the capital of global creativity... and the UAE is its home.
