The recognition honours the Ministry’s efforts to develop a centralised digital platform designed to maintain an accurate and continuously updated record of federal real estate assets, in line with the highest standards of transparency and efficiency.
The platform was officially launched on January 12, 2026, as part of the Ministry’s efforts to develop a unified and trusted framework for managing federal real estate assets and to support the digital transformation of government resource and asset management.
A Data-Driven Vision for Government Assets
H.E. Mariam Mohamed Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for Government Financial Management Sector at the Ministry of Finance, said: “This global recognition reflects international appreciation for the UAE’s strategic approach to building smart, data-driven government ecosystems. It also highlights the Federal Properties Platform as a strategic enabler for unlocking greater value from government resources, strengthening transparency and supporting more sustainable financial planning.”
HE added: “The platform represents a practical model for harnessing artificial intelligence and intelligent analytics throughout the asset lifecycle, from registration and valuation to operations and maintenance. This supports proactive decision-making, improves the efficiency of government spending and maximises the value of government assets, in line with the UAE’s aspirations for digital transformation and financial sustainability.”
Advanced Analytics
Representing a step change in the organisation, governance and management of real estate assets across the federal government, the Federal Properties Platform provides a unified central database that enables federal entities to manage their real estate asset data with greater accuracy. The platform also integrates with other government systems and facilitates the generation of periodic reports and key performance indicators that support data-driven decision-making.
Its integrated digital architecture enables the adoption of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics in managing federal real estate assets by providing unified, up-to-date and analysis-ready data.
This allows financial and operational indicators to be assessed more accurately, improves planning quality and supports proactive decision-making on the management of government real estate assets.
