The UAE has given the green light to a new remote work system, allowing federal government employees to work from abroad! Announced during a Cabinet meeting in Qasr Al Watan, Abu Dhabi chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the initiative aims to attract top global talent for key government projects, studies, and specialized tasks.
But that’s not all—the UAE is doubling down on its ambition to be a global business magnet. The Cabinet also rolled out a powerhouse six-year national investment strategy with a bold goal.
“This strategy will focus on game-changing sectors—industry, logistics, financial services, renewable energy, and IT. The UAE is all about building the best business environment, attracting investments, and keeping its economy future-proof.”
– H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet took stock of the national digital economy strategy, which is on a mission to supercharge the digital sector’s GDP contribution – think national projects and a relentless drive to cement the UAE’s place in the big digital leagues.
And because a thriving economy needs a healthy population, the Cabinet also introduced a new national policy to combat health risks, ensuring the UAE stays ahead of potential emergencies.
“Strengthening health security and enhancing quality of life will always be a top priority.”
– H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai
From remote work freedom to billion-dirham investments and a sharper focus on digital and health resilience, the UAE is making it clear: the future is here, and it’s looking bold, connected, and unstoppable.
“The UAE will continue to build new economic bridges across all continents, solidifying its position as a global trade hub.”
