The app, developed by Digital Dubai, represents a major shift in government communications and addresses the need to make instant decisions to boost the quality of governance.
Sheikh Hamdan said that Dubai Government is working to develop groundbreaking digital tools as part of efforts to raise government excellence.
Commenting on the new app, Sheikh Hamdan said: “To reinforce Dubai’s position as a world-leading government, we need to ensure quick, impactful and real-time decision-making. We are committed to providing all the support the government sector needs to deliver quality services that exceed international benchmarks and develop advanced new models for raising government efficiency and the happiness of the community.
“We seek to consolidate Dubai’s status as the world’s best city to live, work and visit. To achieve our ambitious goals, we need to constantly develop robust creative solutions to challenges that may seem impossible to solve. Dubai continues to invest heavily in expanding its technological capabilities. We are confident that the city will maintain its position as a leader in technological adoption and innovation.”
Hub Nub allows users to keep pace with and anticipate developments, in order to make strategic decisions that will help maintain Dubai’s pre-eminence among global cities today and in the future.
It provides a platform for government officials to rapidly coordinate among themselves in a secure, integrated, and highly reliable digital environment. It facilitates the rapid deliberations and immediate exchange of documents and notes necessary to make the best possible decision quickly and effectively.
Hub Nub also provides a wide range of services, including instant messaging, voice messages, video and audio calls, apart from sharing of photos, documents, websites, and other content.
Sheikh Hamdan expressed his deep appreciation for the efforts of Digital Dubai and other government entities to ensure a smooth and harmonious digital transformation that will boost sustainability and optimise the use of resources.
Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of Digital Dubai, added: “We have made significant strides in digitising government procedures in Dubai and ensuring services are available when people need them. This would not have been possible without ensuring government communication meets global benchmarks.
“The launch of the Hub Nub app provides a new advanced platform that enables instant interaction between government leaders to coordinate efforts, exchange ideas and make appropriate decisions. The app serves government decision-makers who need to communicate instantly with various parties to gather sufficient data and make a decision.”
