ABU DHABI
The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, TRA, and the Department of Economic Development of Dubai, DED, recently signed a collaboration agreement to enhance their cooperation and coordination efforts in the field of joint national indicators of the Network Readiness Index (NRI), a key indicator from the World Economic Forum, WEF, to measure how countries are doing in the digital world.
The terms of the agreement include the formation of a joint working group between the TRA and the DED to achieve the NRI objectives, as well as working on the implementation of initiatives that enable the raising of sub-indices of NRI in the business sector, on which one or both parties have a direct effect, said a statement from TRA.
The working group will develop working plans, strategies, and methodologies of information and expertise sharing within the scope of the agreement. The working group will also organise workshops and events that serve the objectives of the indicator, and provide information on key performance indicators.
