In 2014, the current Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates launched a strategy within the frames. It was expected to introduce the country as one of the world’s most innovative in the next seven years (Arabian Business.com 2014). Several steps were taken to approach the goal. Each month, different innovative companies offered their ideas and improvements. However, one of the most impressive, creative ideas was provided at the end of 2016, when community envelopment was provided to the UAE’s citizens. It is based on creating a particular website approved by the ministry where the public can easily submit different ideas and explain how challenges may be solved (Dajani 2016).
The peculiar feature of this innovation is the possibility to involve as many ordinary people as possible. A person should not be a technician or a medical worker to introduce an idea. It is enough to be a citizen of the UAE and have a need. Besides, it is expected to develop a specific background and a plan with the help of which the idea may be elaborated. Today, it is possible to find millions of innovative ideas from different companies and millionaires who want to invest their money and become famous. However, not every country is ready to consider the needs of ordinary people. The UAE takes the step that unites the government of the country with its people.
It is not enough for the ministry to impose ideas. The governmental representative, Ms. Suhail, wants to think out loud and involve all community sections in the development of an innovative process (Dajani 2016). This idea is simple still covers millions of needs. The only step that has to be taken is to visit a website and make a contribution.
