The certification was granted by LRQA, highlighting Dubai Culture’s commitment to fostering innovation and aligning with global best practices.

Introduced in late 2024, ISO 56001:2024 provides a structured framework for organizations to implement and enhance innovation management systems. Dubai Culture’s achievement underscores its role in advancing the UAE Innovates 2025 initiative and strengthening Dubai’s position as a hub for cultural and creative excellence.

“Achieving this certification during UAE Innovates 2025 demonstrates our commitment to enhancing competitiveness, empowering our workforce, and fostering a culture of innovation. It reaffirms our dedication to delivering high-quality services and aligning with the highest international standards.”

Dubai Culture secured this certification by adopting a systematic approach to innovation, enabling it to address challenges, seize opportunities, and develop impactful solutions. This recognition further enhances the Authority’s reputation and fosters collaboration with key stakeholders.

The accomplishment adds to Dubai Culture’s impressive track record, having received four ISO certifications in 2024, including those for business continuity, risk management, governance, and collaborative business relationships. These certifications solidify its status as a global benchmark for public sector excellence, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and operational efficiency.
