H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, launched the Dubai Digital Cloud project during a visit to the Digital Dubai headquarters.

The project is the latest in a series of initiatives aimed at creating a world-leading, efficient, agile and reliable digital infrastructure in Dubai.

During his visit, Hamdan attended the signing of partnership agreements between Digital Dubai, Microsoft and Moro Hub – a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, the digital arm of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (PJSC) – to implement the Dubai Digital Cloud project.

The initiative aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to reinforce Dubai’s position as a digital economy capital and further strengthen its robust and reliable digital infrastructure.

Sheikh Hamdan expressed his appreciation for the commitment of various government teams working to advance Dubai’s digital development goals in line with the highest global benchmarks.

He said the growing pace of Dubai’s digital transformation has significantly boosted the performance of government operations. The city’s ability to provide citizens, residents and visitors with an exceptional digital experience has reinforced its reputation as the world’s best city to live, work and visit, His Highness added.

The Dubai Digital Cloud project consists of multiple digital clouds designed to provide high levels of flexibility and operational efficiency, while offering the best solutions from private to public clouds.

It also includes multiple service providers, who will work to enhance services and boost their competitiveness, providing government entities with multiple service provider options.

The project aims to establish a world-leading efficient, reliable, and agile digital infrastructure in Dubai that leverages the most advanced cloud technologies and enhance the efficiency of government services by ensuring faster delivery, high quality and low operational costs.

Additionally, it seeks to address information security risks by implementing strict cybersecurity standards and policies, creating an enabling environment to support Dubai’s digital economy and aid decision-making processes.

In an effort to achieve the project’s ambitious objectives, Digital Dubai signed its first agreements with Moro Hub (Data Hub Integrated Solutions LLC), a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, the digital arm of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), and Microsoft Corporation, and continues to collaborate and partner with other private sector stakeholders.

Meanwhile, Microsoft and Digital Dubai will collaborate to support the project by leveraging the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform and providing platforms dedicated to government entities, in order to ensure the highest levels of security, governance and compliance with Digital Dubai’s policies and regulations. The two parties will also work together on a Digital Skills Program.
