Scaling Government Innovation Without Compromise: The Department of Government Enablement Story
AI is moving from experimentation to becoming the foundation of government services, decision-making, and citizen engagement. Scaling it across government brings a critical challenge -how to innovate at speed while maintaining sovereignty, security, and regulatory control.
Abu Dhabi government is addressing this head on, with a clear ambition to become the world’s first AI-native government by 2027. At the core is the Department of Government Enablement, driving AI-first governance across every layer of operations. Together with Core42 and Microsoft, this vision is being realized through Sovereign Public Cloud, combining Azure’s hyperscale innovation with sovereign and security controls. This session explores what it takes to run AI at government scale securely, compliantly, and without compromise.
This is not a future vision - it’s a real-world case study of AI-native government in action.
