The agency's virtual office will allow visitors to meet, communicate and sign legal documents from anywhere in the world.
The UAE Ministry of Economy announced the opening of an office in the metaverse, which can be visited from anywhere in the world, according to gulfnews.com The office was presented by the Minister of Economy of the United Arab Emirates, Abdullah bin Tuk Al Marri, at the Dubai Metaverse Assembly, an event dedicated to the development of the metaverse.
Al Marri said the virtual office is a “digital twin” of the ministry’s offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where visitors can meet, communicate and sign legal documents using avatars.
A digital office is a multi-story “building” with each floor serving a different purpose. The visitor receives a virtual ticket at the entrance, after which a notification is sent to the customer support center, and then the visitor is allowed to enter the virtual office. Interaction on the platform is done using voice prompts to simulate a real conversation with a customer service representative.
Representatives of the department emphasized that an important innovative feature of the digital office is that it is possible to sign official documents in it. Thus, to sign them, you no longer need to come to the UAE, you can draw up documents from anywhere in the world.
The UAE is actively working on the digitalization of various sectors of the economy. In particular, Dubai plans to create more than 40 thousand virtual jobs by 2030 according to the Dubai Metaverse strategy. Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum hopes to turn the region into a global tech capital with a focus on artificial intelligence and Web3.
