Dubai Future Readiness Index aims to improve the readiness of Dubai government entities to tackle global and local challenges, promote innovation, and empower employees to design future strategies. The index, developed by Dubai Future Foundation, in collaboration with the Dubai Government Excellence Programme (DGEP) also aims to position Dubai as a leading city of the future that prioritises well-being and safeguards livelihoods, while also ensuring it is one of the most prepared cities to overcome challenges and leverage future opportunities.

The index will identify opportunities and priorities, highlight areas for improvement, and develop knowledge-exchange programmes. This will foster the exchange of best practices among government entities.

The index includes 66 sub-indicators across five key areas, and will evaluate government entities on their readiness to address new opportunities and challenges, future-ready ecosystems, and their ability to adopt new technologies.

The index will release a biennial report listing the most future-ready government entities, and these entities will be evaluated as part of the Dubai Government Excellence Programme.

The outcomes will entail an independent institutional assessment by global experts and employee surveys, using the pre-established indicators of the central government entities.

As part of @WorldGovSummit, we launched the Dubai Future Readiness Index to continue the government’s excellence journey started 25 years ago by @HHShkMohd. Developed by @DubaiFuture and the Dubai Government Excellence Program, it includes 66 sub-indicators across 5 key areas. pic.twitter.com/R95O3pQjnm
