In partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF), the UAE Cabinet’s General Secretariat has unveiled the 'Global Regulatory Innovation Platform'.

The initiative will act as a hub for legislative innovation worldwide, helping governments create agile, forward-looking regulations in response to rapid technological change.

It will offer tools like a Global Regulatory Playbook and a Future-Readiness Index, helping lawmakers assess and improve their legal frameworks.

The agreement was signed in Geneva by Maryam bint Ahmed Al Hammadi, Minister of State and Secretary General of the UAE Cabinet, and Børge Brende, President and CEO of the WEF.

Al Hammadi says the UAE is committed to sharing its expertise and shaping future-ready legislation worldwide, while Brende praised the initiative, saying it will help governments keep pace with fast-moving innovation.
