In this context, he touched on the role of the “Initial Registration” platform in the development of real estate developers procedures, the Dubai Rest application in facilitating access to real estate services and information, and the artificial intelligence assistant “Malik” in improving the customer experience.
He explained that these efforts are integrated with initiatives to support real estate brokers, empower national competencies and expand investment tools, in a way that enhances the efficiency and transparency of the market.
Al Marri stressed that the participation of the Department as a strategic partner in the summit reflects its commitment to enhance cooperation with various parties of the real estate system, and the development of partnerships that support the competitiveness of the market, pointing out that the summit provides a platform for direct communication with investors and developers, exchange experiences and review initiatives and services that keep pace with their aspirations.
