Created to be at the centre of a strong digital business ecosystem, the strategy aims to:

- Propose improvements and changes to laws and policies that support the growth of the digital economy
- Organise an international conference on the new digital economy

Future Focus
The activities of Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy will be driven by four newly formed committees:
- Digital Economy Finance Action Committee
- Digital Talent Action Committee
- Network and Ecosystem Action Committee
- Government Coordination, Regulation, and Infrastructure Action Committee.
The chamber’s remit includes launching projects and conducting studies on the economy of the future, and its most promising areas for investment, with a prime focus on building the world’s best digital infrastructure in Dubai. An advocate for the burgeoning digital sector, the chamber helps draft legislation to create an environment that is conducive to the growth of the digital economy and the role of advanced technology in society.
