Welcoming the delegation, Lootah said: “We are happy to host the delegation of the Supreme Council of Energy and through meetings such as these, bolster our partnerships with government authorities and provide our experience and shared eServices to them, to help consolidate Dubai’s position as a leading hub in the knowledge-based economy in implementation of the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.”
Lootah gave a presentation on Dubai eGovernment Department including its shared services for all Dubai government entities, thereby contributing to establishing a knowledge-based economy in an environment that ensures sustainable development for the Emirate of Dubai. This was followed by a presentation by Bin Hammad who also demonstrated how electronic payments and mobile technology contribute to energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions. She also asked DSCE to benefit from the services offered by DeG for government authorities, since that is the role for which Dubai eGovernment was established.
