Digital Dubai has recognized WSO2 as one of its top high-performing suppliers for 2024. The recognition was presented at the Dubai Government Pavilion during GITEX Global 2025, reflecting the strong and growing partnership supporting Dubai’s vision of a fully connected, smart, and digital government.
Through this collaboration, Digital Dubai utilizes WSO2’s API integration, identity management, and secure digital access solutions to deliver scalable and seamless digital services across multiple government entities. The partnership strengthens data interoperability, citizen identity access, cybersecurity, and privacy standards, forming a foundational layer for Dubai’s “City as a Service” digital ecosystem.
“We are honoured to be recognized by Digital Dubai as a high-performing supplier. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to open digital technologies that enhance government efficiency and improve services for residents and businesses,” said Uday Shankar Kizhepat, Vice President and General Manager for WSO2 in the MEA region.
The recognition was announced during Digital Dubai’s Annual Suppliers Connect, part of the 45th edition of GITEX Global 2025, held under the theme “Digitalising Life in Dubai.” The event brought together leading local and global technology companies to enhance collaboration across the emirate’s digital transformation landscape.
Digital Dubai’s procurement ecosystem is built on strategic partnerships, categorizing suppliers into:
- Strategic suppliers (innovation and value-focused partners),
- Vital suppliers (critical operational support),
- Operational suppliers (day-to-day service providers).
WSO2’s role has expanded from a traditional supplier to a long-term digital transformation partner, enabling the integration of government systems, workflow automation, unified digital access, and enhanced user experience for both citizens and businesses. This recognition reinforces Digital Dubai’s continued commitment to public–private collaboration, driving technological innovation and advancing the quality of life in Dubai.
