Dubai Electricity and Water Authority strengthens technical collaboration with Estonia

A delegation from Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) recently made an official visit to Estonia to meet representatives from its different government organisations.

The visit strengthened cooperation between the two sides and to broaden their knowledge on international information technology practices, said a statement from Dewa. 

During the visit, the respective representatives from both parties discussed subjects of mutual interest, particularly Dewa’s efforts to transform Dubai into one of the smartest cities in the world.

Commenting on the visit, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and chief executive of Dewa, said: “This visit falls in line with Dewa’s commitment to exchange knowledge, information and skills with other international organisations in its continuous efforts to keep up to date with the latest technologies and solutions, to contribute towards the UAE’s position as an international role model for happy citizens, and residents.”

“Dewa continues to find new, innovative ways of providing smart services to make living standards in Dubai the best in the world. This move represents our ongoing efforts to continuously developing our services, to meet the daily needs of our customers, and look at Estonia's experience in electronic security,” he added. 

The Dewa delegation were presented with the latest developments in Estonia’s smart services via a single portal, which can be used by Dubai to handle big data and develop services in connection with identification, according to the statement. 

The delegation also met the departments in charge of issuing important decisions within companies and organisations, and reviewed various smart tools to help raise awareness among clients and employees, and the means to evaluate the efficiency of cloud security and organisational networks, it concluded. 

The delegation of Dewa officials was led by Dewa’s chief information officer Moza Al Akraf.
