“In line with the directives of DED’s senior leadership, the Management seeks to upgrade the methods and mechanisms of communication with customers, by using artificial intelligence programs in the field of customers relations and provision of distinguished government services to customers. This will improve the services and provide an integrated smart technics environment to facilitate and streamline the procedures of providing services to all customers anywhere, at any time, thus contributing to the elements of happiness and social well-being. It will also enhance the competitiveness of the investment environment, making the emirate a vital economic and investment center,” concluded Al Baloushi.

The boom of Ajman’s now well established and highly competitive economy began with the Department of Economic Development (DED), a division of the Municipality and Planning Department, before it became an independent local authority in 2011. During that year, H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, the Ruler of the Emirate of Ajman and a Member of the UAE Supreme Council, issued Emiri Decree No. (1) on the reorganization of the DED in Ajman to achieve the emirate’s sustainable economic development as well as create a fair investment landscape and consumer environment to attract national and foreign investments. The reorganization also sought to provide adequate information and data on the economic activities and investment opportunities in the emirate.
