Professional services company Accenture will open a digital hub in District 2020, the legacy site of Expo 2020 Dubai, to help clients across a variety of industries develop innovative digital solutions, working closely with its technology partners.
This initiative signals Accenture's support of the UAE government's initiative to accelerate economic and social development through the World Expo and its legacy. It is the second global company this year to announce plans to set up a base in District 2020.
In July of this year, Accenture was selected as the Digital Services Premier Partner and Systems Integrator for Expo 2020 and will work with Etisalat Digital, a business unit of the international telecoms and technology service provider Etisalat.
Unveiled this week at Cityscape Global 2017, District 2020 is an exciting urban development that builds on the journey of the Expo. It will follow Expo in providing impetus to the UAE economy, attracting world-class talent and investment and facilitating collaboration, creativity and innovation for generations to come.
The decision by Accenture to open its digital hub following Expo 2020 was welcomed by Marjan Faraidooni, senior vice-president of Legacy Development and Impact at Expo 2020 Dubai.
"As a Premier Partner of Expo 2020, Accenture is already playing an important role in making the first World Expo in the region a can't-miss experience for millions,"?she said.
"By confirming it will open a digital hub at District 2020, the company is also demonstrating its faith in Dubai as a gateway to global markets, especially in Africa and Asia, and the vision of the UAE's leaders for the future."
Accenture will harness the physical infrastructure at District 2020 that promotes easy connections for residents and businesses alike. It will benefit from state-of-the-art digital infrastructure and impressive transport links, including the nearby Al Maktoum International Airport, which will connect it with the rest of the world. - business@khaleejtimes.com
