Sharjah Tatweer Forum Launches Digital Transformation Program To Fuel UAE Vision 2021 Efforts

The extremely popular catchphrase ‘digital winners’ is being increasingly associated with Sharjah, an emirate that has given global markets tangible proof of applying leading digital technologies to run profitable, customer-focused, agile and efficient businesses, thereby positioning itself as a leading reference for sustainable and diversified economic development.

In a bid to further these efforts and come closer to the UAE Vision 2021, Sharjah Tatweer Forum, a subsidiary of the Rubu’ Qarn Foundation, launched the ‘Digital Transformation Program’, in partnership with Sharjah’s Higher Committee for Digital Transformation which was established last October, with the aim to implement smart digital transformation across all services being delivered to residents and citizens by state entities in the emirate.

By launching the ‘Digital Transformation Program’, which targets employees in public and private institutions, Sharjah Tatweer Forum seeks to enhance the participants’ capabilities, providing them with the tools to navigate digital transformation and implement it within their institutions. It also seeks to elevate the skills of executives in a variety of departments including top- and mid-level management, technology and marketing departments, functional heads, digital transformation specialists and corporate entrepreneurs.

Sheikh Fahim bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Department of Government Relations and Chairman of the Higher Committee for the Digital Transformation of Sharjah; and HE Jassem Al Blooshi, Member of the Board of Trustees of Rubu’ Qarn Foundation witnessed the first day of the program, which runs at the Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre, from February 18-21, 2018.
