Dubai – 17 May 2022: Dubai Customs has promoted and nurtured a culture of innovation fulfilling its strategic plan 2021-2026, which, among many other objectives, aims to enhance sustainable development and expedite services and procedures. The organization’s Innovation Center launched a number of leading initiatives in the first third of 2022. These included the creative drone that carries a scanning device to further secure the borders and protect the society from the hazards of illegitimate trade.

Dubai Customs has made a quantum leap in developing innovative ideas and launching leading customs innovations, which are among the most important in customs sector globally. The organization had earlier launched the First Innovation League in order to promote a culture of innovation within the work environment, and involve internal and external stakeholders to contribute in developing and materializing ideas into creative projects. 
Another creative project was the Smart Inspection Drone, which protects inspectors from any radiation hazards, and the Smart Luggage Inspection System.

For this 406 ideas and solutions were developed, which eventually led to 171 new customs innovations. The Smart Inspection Drone, the first of its kind in the world, was designed by printing its shockproof structure with 3D printers. This innovation was patented in just 48 hours, making it the fastest intellectual property registration in the history of the organization.” 
Dubai Customs has received 46,154 ideas through its electronic systems between 2000 and 2021. The organization received 145 local and international awards for its innovative projects.
