Backed by law

RegLab collaborates to create new value propositions involving multiple stakeholders. Through pilot projects, it builds a case for changing and scaling regulations.

RegLab is the bridge between the innovation ecosystem of the Dubai Future Foundation, and the legislative capabilities of the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs of the Future. Its ability to evolve legislation is backed by a law authorising the UAE Cabinet to grant licences for the testing and vetting of innovations utilising future technologies.
