Dubai Customs Takes Center Stage in UAE Innovates 2024 Extravaganza: A Grand Showcase of Impactful Innovations, Dazzling Exhibitions, and Fierce Competitions
Dubai Customs is gearing up to headline the UAE Innovation Month "UAE Innovates 2024." With a dynamic theme of "Impactful Innovations," the oldest government department in Dubai aims to not just showcase their groundbreaking advancements but to infuse a culture of innovation within society. Their commitment extends beyond the customs realm, reaching into the core of community protection and economic development.
The pulse of this celebration will be the fourth International Innovation Summit, a dazzling exhibition featuring 40 innovations that promise to redefine the landscape. Picture this: 10 cutting-edge security innovations, another 10 pushing the envelope in the economic sector, and a compelling 20 futuristic innovations from the brilliant minds of our youth – students from schools, universities, and research centers. The buzz doesn't stop there; Dubai Customs is set to launch the Customs Innovators Club and host an exhilarating hackathon for school students during the grand opening.
But it's not all about the glitz and glam – there's serious work happening too. Throughout the UAE Innovation Month, Dubai Customs has lined up nine lectures and workshops, a blend of both internal and external sessions. The goal is simple – to ignite the spark of innovation in every participant and employee. These sessions will delve into the intricacies, guiding everyone through the methodological steps needed to propose customs innovations that not only support performance improvement but also supercharge productivity.
As the month crescendos towards its grand finale, brace yourself for the launch of Dubai Customs’ second Innovation League during the closing ceremony. This league isn't just about participation; it's a fierce competition, an arena where the best of the best in customs innovation will collide.
Global recognition is not an unfamiliar territory for Dubai Customs. The World Customs Organization has, time and again, underscored their leadership in customs innovation through glowing reports. The pinnacle came in 2023 when Dubai Customs bagged an honorary fellowship from the IdeasUK Organization – a historical moment as the first Arab and international institution outside the UK to achieve this distinction.
Dubai Customs is not just about receiving awards; it's about translating ideas into action. They've meticulously crafted an innovation ecosystem, a system that doesn't just receive ideas – it nurtures them. Ideas from clients, partners, and employees across sectors are not just adopted; they are molded, integrated, and brought to life within the customs workflow. The aim? To continually push the boundaries, maintaining Dubai Customs' global leadership in customs innovation.
As Dubai Customs charts its course for the future, this is not just a celebration; it is a testament to their unwavering commitment to shaping the world of customs through innovation.
