Tech Mahindra signs MoU with DEC to contribute to ‘Smart City’ initiative
In a move which marks Tech Mahindra’s support of Dubai’s ‘Smart City’ initiative, the IT major has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Dubai Economic Council (DEC), to provide innovative IT solutions.
The MoU was signed by Tech Mahindra’s Chief Executive Officer C P Gurnani and DEC Secretary General Hani Rashid Al Hamli.
With the MoU underscoring that Tech Mahindra will help Dubai achieve the status of ‘Smart City’, the move clearly indicates that DEC is looking to benefit from the impressive experience of the private sectors when it comes to connecting Dubai’s community in particular, and the UAE and the world in general.
In reference to the MoU signed by Tech Mahindra and GEC, Hani Rashid Al Hamli said that the collaboration will essentially find ways and solutions to support Dubai’s complete conversion to a ‘Smart City.’
Al Hamli further added that the signing of the MoU will potentially lead to increased collaboration between Tech Mahindra and DEC, including “exchange of knowledge, expertise and advice in innovation and smart solutions.”
Expressing pride at Tech Mahindra’s new partnership with DEC, Gurnani said that the collaboration “strongly demonstrates Tech Mahindra’s eagerness to play a key role in the vision set forth by H H Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to transform the emirate into one of the world’s premier Smart Cities.”
