Developing Regulations that Support Digital Transformation

We are responsible for developing policies and regulations that enable and enhance digital transformation in the UAE. These policies aim to enhance a culture of government excellence, raise the efficiency of government performance within the digital government program scope, and leverage technology to improve economic growth.

Measuring Digital Transformation

By measuring digital transformation, we aim to raise the level of digital government services quality and presence to enhance the UAE society. It can promote healthy competition among federal entities in terms of their digital services and presence.

Building Digital Enablers

We support infrastructure and strategies that drive effective transformation processes for UAE government entities by implementing digital enablers. TDRA spearheaded the development of the National Plan and implemented several critical initiatives referred to herein as Digital Enablers to achieve UAE Smart Government Goals.

Managing Federal Digital Network

Core to the digital government infrastructure is the Federal Network (FEDnet). With the mission to deliver smart government services efficiently and securely, FEDnet facilitates a technology infrastructure to strengthen coherence, improve operational excellence, and provide on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources for all federal government entities.

Providing Technical Consultancy

We provide a service that facilitates the exchange of experience and advice to various government entities seeking consultations in several fields, including information security, systems, architecture design, infrastructure, and development.

Managing Domains

The .ae Domain Administration is the regulatory body that sets and enforces all operational policies for the Registry System. It manages the country’s top-level UAE domains, including ‘.ae’ and ".امارات" (dotEmarat).

Building Digital Capabilities

We design programs to enhance employees' capabilities in government and private sectors, equipping them with skills to design innovative digital services, provide exceptional customer experiences, and lead digital transformation within a well-considered and systematic framework. We also focus on nurturing young talent, expanding their skills through camps and workshops.

Managing Internet Access

Internet Access Management (IAM) defines and regulates access to the internet throughout the UAE. Using the latest technologies and processes, IAM monitors and controls network access based on the content to protect end-users from harmful and illegal websites.

A Global Leader in Digital Transformation

We enable digital transformation globally by exchanging experiences, launching initiatives, and strengthening partnerships as a worldwide role model.
