Promote the competitiveness of projects
Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees the Dubai 10X initiative, signed a partnership agreement with the Dubai Competitiveness Office last October to prepare an annual report on the competitiveness of the approved Dubai 10X projects, and extend support to the teams and provide required information to ensure project implementation and success.
The team will prepare a detailed annual report on all Dubai 10X approved projects and measure the associated international competitiveness indexes to study their impact on enhancing the competitiveness of Dubai.
This partnership with Dubai Competitiveness Office enables the use of the Future Competitive Platform as a tool to track the impact of initiatives, monitor their progress as well as be used as a reference in implementing best practices.
