DUBAI, UAE - March 6, 2017 - PRLog -- The Dubai 10X initiative was launched at the World Government Summit by Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The symbol X signifies the out of the box thinking which has to be future oriented and exponential.

The future will not be as patient with us as the present.

We are a young and energetic government who want to be leaders in disruptive innovation and technology."

He further added, "Succeeding in becoming the best government in the world requires all of us to adopt a culture of creative disruption, allowing not only our tools and systems to be enhanced, but also our mind-sets, to be revamped, upgraded and open to embracing disruption. We want to achieve real, impactful and 10x happiness outcomes for society and establish a unicorn government that becomes a platform to deliver moonshots."
