Commenting on this milestone, Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, TRA Director-General, who received the certificate from Colin Rushmere, BSI MEA General Manager Compliance and Risk, said, “Innovation is part of the pillar ‘United in Knowledge’ of UAE Vision 2021 which seeks to achieve a knowledge-based, diversified and flexible economy led by skilled Emirati competencies and backed by best practices to ensure the long-term prosperity of the UAE and its people. Innovation is a basis upon which the TRA acts and, as such, the TRA has a strategy to support, promote and disseminate a culture of innovation in the field of ICT in line with the directives of our wise leadership in creating an innovation-stimulating environment that enables the UAE to be a world leader in this area.”
