By embracing AI-driven policies, Dubai aims to become a top destination for technology and innovation companies worldwide. The real estate sector is on the brink of a revolution, and this initiative will foster strategic programs and partnerships across both public and private sectors, enabling us to address current and future challenges effectively.”
Objectives of the REES Initiative
The REES Initiative by the Dubai Land Department is geared towards several key objectives:
- Enhancing the Innovation Ecosystem: The primary goal is to systematically develop the real estate sector’s innovation environment in collaboration with various partners.
