Data-Driven Government KSA Whitepaper

Event Overview

The Middle East undeniably has undergone a huge digital paradigm shift due to the striking technological disruption across the government authorities with the enormous data produced. There has been tremendous acceptance of digital data across these authorities which has resulted in improving the life of the citizens in the region. Many countries in the middle east have also introduced policies to encourage data sharing by making data and digital technologies as the most important pillar for their future vision and strategies. This has a market opportunity of $255 billion with captalisation on advancement of digital maturity across the region. Despite the huge shift, the MENA region is yet to explore more opportunities to meet global standards in the areas of data sharing, open data platform, transparency, security, and monetizing of data. In light of this, the 3rd edition of the Data-Driven Government Conference taking place on 10-11 May 2023, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is exclusively hosted to bring together 250+ professionals and experts from the government, ministries, public sector, international councils, alliances, and technology sector to shed light on the digital capabilities, data security, sustainability, and the future data usage trends for the government sector. The distinguished expert panel of speakers will discuss the region’s forward journey to deep dive in implementing data-based infrastructure for moving towards the mega digital world to effectively regulate and support their national socio-economic development.
