The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has been named the principal sponsor of the Dubai Government Achievements Exhibition (DGAE).

"Local government ... global achievements" is the theme of the show being staged under a directive of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, VP & PM of the UAE, ruler of Dubai, from March 30 to April 1, at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. DGAE has attracted over 33 participants

DLD’s support comes at a time when the event has seen remarkable growth in terms of number of participants with strong participation from the UAE federal government departments as well as government entities from across the region.

Exhibitors will also get the opportunity to meet global delegations participating in the annual investment meeting (AIM) 2015, which will be organized by the UAE Ministry of Economy concurrently at the same venue.

DLD supports innovation, the main theme of this year’s event in line with the UAE government’s focus for 2015.

Abdullah Al-Shibani, secretary general of the Dubai Executive Council, and chairman of Dubai Government Excellence Program (DGEP), said: “This sponsorship reflects the unique and close coordination among government departments in Dubai, and is a living testimony to the high levels of excellence in government work in the emirate.”

Sultan Butti bin Mejren, director general of DLD, said: “We will display our expertise in various aspects of government work, and look at what the others have achieved as well.”

Ahmed Nuseirat, coordinator general, DGEP, said: "We are confident that the show’s vision will boost its standing globally.”

Hazza Khalfan Al-Nuaimi, senior manager of excellence initiatives at DGEP, said: “DGAE highlights the most notable best practices in government work. It also attracts international decision-makers, making it a comprehensive platform for showcasing government performance to the entire world.”
