How the UAE is cutting back on red tape with high tech
Applying for a visa, obtaining a driving licence, renting a property or signing up for health insurance … what is sometimes called 'personal admin' – or more pejoratively, 'red tape' – can be a time-consuming part of modern life. Most people, already busy with family and careers, simply want these unavoidable processes over and done with as quickly as possible. It should come as no surprise therefore that Abu Dhabi's AI-powered super app for government services is called Tamm, the Arabic for 'done'. The app, which can be used to access more than 1,000 public and private services, is an example of how the UAE has worked hard to cut bureaucracy, make services simpler and generally free citizens and residents from the burden of onerous paperwork. A good quality of life includes ease of day to day activities, which Tamm enables for many in Abu Dhabi. Last month, Tamm even caught the eye of Microsoft's president and vice chairman. Brad Smith praised Abu Dhabi's AI initiatives and apps, telling a US Senate committee hearing: 'We need to bring it to America.' However, Tamm and other streamlined government services, such as the UAE Pass and Dubai's Work Bundle, are the result of years-long efforts to cut red tape and to put the user at the heart of designing these processes. Establishing a comprehensive Emirates ID system that links the holder to different services, the public ranking of the best and worst-performing government departments, impromptu inspections of civil service offices and bonuses for employees or work teams that raise standards are just some of the measures taken to improve services for everybody. On Monday it was confirmed that such efforts will continue. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, announced the next phase of a Zero Government Bureaucracy programme, which he described as 'a national project to make government services simpler, faster and more efficient'. It is a project that has gone quite some way in making people's lives simpler. During the first phase of the Zero Government Bureaucracy programme, more than 4,000 unnecessary or duplicated procedures were cancelled. Mohammed Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, said members of the public, customers, businesses and investors were saved more than 12 million hours and Dh1.12 billion ($326.7 million). Having a bureaucracy – that is, people working on this information – is not inherently inefficient. It is flawed design, execution and staffing that make it so As a country with a growing population, most of whom are from overseas, it makes sense that the Emirates is harnessing its technological know-how to develop a robust system of efficient services. With cities such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai acting as magnets for regional and international talent, the arrival of more people results in a huge amount of paper and digital information to retain, process and update. Having an efficient system to process all this information is vital. Initiatives like the Zero Government Bureaucracy programme, coupled with broader measures such as the UAE's Digital Government Strategy 2025, show it is possible for bureaucracies – as Mr Al Gergawi noted – 're-engineer processes' to deliver quicker outcomes. Entrenched bureaucracies can be an issue, but a flexible approach that focuses on improvements and outcomes is one that can cut the dreaded red tape, increasing individual and societal efficiency.

Abu Dhabi launches AI-powered platform to transform construction process
Abu Dhabi has launched a comprehensive new AI-powered platform, Binaa, aimed at radically streamlining the construction and permitting process across the emirate, as authorities prepare for a new wave of population-driven development. The platform developed by the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), brings together all key stakeholders — project owners, consultants, contractors, and engineers — onto one smart digital ecosystem. Speaking to Khaleej Times on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit after launching Binaa, Maryam AlMheiri, Acting Section Head of Business Systems Development at DMT, described the new platform as 'a complete system that helps a large part of society to understand and manage the construction journey in Abu Dhabi. Whether you're building a residential villa or a commercial tower, this platform offers a 360-degree view of your project, from documentation requirements to consultant performance." Transparency and faster licencing Among its standout features is a 360-view dashboard that visualises every stage of a construction project, increasing transparency and ensuring smoother communication between entities. Another key component is the Firm Directory, a smart tool that enables project owners to compare and select consultants or contractors based on performance ratings, speed of permit approvals, and overall efficiency. 'It allows you to make informed decisions about who to hire based on data, not guesswork,' she explained. The platform also includes a virtual assistant, integrated training modules, and access to UAE construction laws — all intended to make the development process more navigable for newcomers and professionals alike. 'Previously, licencing a residential villa might have taken months. Now, it can be completed in just 10 days. We've cut 40% of the system's touch points and made many steps automatic,' she added. Smart inspection and virtual reality tools While Binaa is primarily focused on the construction and permitting journey, it is part of a wider vision to bring advanced digital tools, including AI and virtual reality, into infrastructure development. One of these tools is the Smart Inspection feature, which uses Building Information Modelling (BIM) to overlay digital plans onto the physical site in real-time. 'It allows consultants and owners to identify clashes or delays early on, making the inspection and oversight process far more efficient,' AlMheiri explained. This immersive approach not only speeds up approvals but also reduces human error, offering a glimpse into how Abu Dhabi may build smarter and faster in the years to come. A bold long-term vision Looking ahead, AlMheiri said she believes the emirate is on track to lead the region in digital infrastructure transformation. 'With the municipality's forward-thinking initiatives, I believe Abu Dhabi will be number one in the region within the next 10 years,' she said. 'Phase two of Binaa will be more advanced and complex, but we are working to make it just as efficient.' The platform is now live and accessible via the TAMM portal, using UAE Pass credentials. Once logged in, users can access all relevant project data, from licencing status to consultant interactions — ushering in a new era of smart, transparent urban development in the capital.
