A new framework fostering data-driven innovation and strengthening public-private collaboration in Abu Dhabi has been unveiled by the Statistics Centre – Abu Dhabi (SCAD).
The Data for Good (D4G) Framework was presented at Abu Dhabi Pavilion Majlis hosted by SCAD during GITEX. It represents a significant step towards enhancing secure, systematic partnerships between the government and private sector entities, and empowers both to use real-time data analytical insights for the public good.

“By building trust and fostering collaboration between public and private sectors, this framework enables us to unlock the full potential of data – the lifeblood of modern governance – to create actionable insights that benefit society and fuel economic growth.
Data is becoming a key driver of modern governance, enabling decision-makers to address complex challenges. The D4G Framework positions Abu Dhabi at the forefront of harnessing data to support sustainable development and economic resilience. The framework has been built on three pillars—trust, innovation, and sustainability—ensuring data is shared securely, protecting both privacy and competitive advantages.
