Digital Dubai has announced WSO2, an enterprise digital infrastructure technology, as one of its high-performing suppliers for 2024. The award was presented at the Dubai Government Pavilion during GITEX Global 2025, highlighting the successful partnership that supports Dubai’s vision of a fully digital government.

Through this collaboration, Digital Dubai leverages WSO2’s integration and identity technology to deliver secure, seamless, and scalable digital services across multiple government entities. The partnership enables data interoperability, unified citizen access, and robust privacy and security standards. These form a critical foundation for Dubai’s “City as a Service” model.

Uday Shankar Kizhepat, WSO2’s vice president and general manager for the MEA region, said, “We are honoured to be recognised by Digital Dubai as a high-performing supplier. Our partnership reflects a shared vision of using open technologies to deliver unified and intelligent digital services that enhance government efficiency and improve the lives of Dubai’s residents and businesses.”

The recognition took place during Digital Dubai’s Annual Suppliers Connect at the 45th edition of GITEX Global 2025 under the theme “Digitalising Life in Dubai.” The event brought together local and international companies to strengthen collaboration across Dubai’s digital ecosystem.

Digital Dubai is developing an integrated procurement ecosystem with three supplier categories:

• Strategic suppliers deliver value-added services, drive innovation, and promote sustainability.
• Vital suppliers provide essential goods and services critical to business continuity.
• Operational suppliers offer day-to-day, low-risk products and services.

H.E. Tariq Al Janahi, CEO of the Corporate Enablement Sector at Digital Dubai, together with senior officials, honoured a group of distinguished partners for their contributions to Dubai’s digital transformation.

WSO2’s role as a strategic technology partner has evolved into a long-term, innovation-driven collaboration. Its platforms enable Digital Dubai to integrate systems, automate workflows, and deliver unified access experiences for citizens and businesses. This reinforces Dubai’s position as a global leader in digital governance.

The event reaffirmed Digital Dubai’s commitment to empowering suppliers and partners as vital contributors to the wider transformation ecosystem. It also strengthens public–private collaboration to advance innovation and improve quality of life in Dubai.
