During the first quarter of 2024, the initiative made significant strides, with 200 Emiratis successfully completing app development training.
The 'Create Apps in Dubai' initiative sets a lofty target of training 1,000 Emiratis and tripling the number of app developers in Dubai by 2025. Spearheaded by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, this initiative reflects the government's commitment to fostering innovation and empowering local talent in the digital sphere.
