MoEI Launches Phase 2 of Zero Bureaucracy Drive to Streamline Services

The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has launched the second phase of its Zero Bureaucracy Programme, aimed at transforming government services by cutting red tape, reducing paperwork, and accelerating service delivery across the UAE.
Announced during the ministry's first Zero Bureaucracy Forum of 2025 in Dubai, the initiative is designed to enhance customer satisfaction by eliminating unnecessary steps, minimising documentation, and shortening processing times. Senior officials from the ministry and partner entities attended the event, underscoring the government's commitment to faster, more efficient, and user-centric services.
As part of the forum, the Minister's Zero Bureaucracy Award was introduced to recognise outstanding efforts in simplifying procedures and improving the overall customer experience.
The programme also seeks to foster a culture of innovation and proactive leadership among ministry employees, while actively involving stakeholders in shaping a more agile public sector. The move aligns with the UAE government's broader vision of delivering seamless and responsive services across all departments.

UAE Employees Surpass European Counterparts in Cyber Readiness, Cohesity Study Shows

The UAE workforce has emerged as a regional leader in cybersecurity readiness, outperforming its European counterparts in a new international study conducted by data security firm Cohesity. The study, which assessed full-time employees in the UAE, UK, France, and Germany, revealed that 86% of UAE respondents feel confident in their ability to detect cyber threats—surpassing the UK (81%), Germany (80%), and France (62%). In addition, nearly 89% of UAE employees trust their organisations' capacity to prevent and recover from cyberattacks. These findings highlight the UAE's ongoing commitment to digital resilience and AI-driven cyber defence, aligning with its national cybersecurity vision. Government-backed efforts—including regulatory reforms, infrastructure upgrades, and advanced threat detection systems overseen by the UAE Cyber Security Council—have significantly strengthened the country's cyber posture. The research also pointed to strong employee engagement. Two-thirds of UAE workers said they would report suspicious activity, while over half would alert their IT departments directly—figures notably higher than those in the UK, Germany, and France. Experts attribute this proactive mindset to regular cybersecurity training, with 66% of UAE employees having received awareness programmes in the past year. Commenting on the results, Johnny Karam of Cohesity praised the UAE's leadership in the EMEA region, citing a 'strong national focus on AI and digital transformation. ' His colleague Mark Molyneux added that the UAE's model shows how prioritising employee awareness is key to tackling modern cyber threats. News Source: Emirates News Agency
