The "Smart Emergency and Control Room" initiative which is being implemented through the Abu Dhabi Business Centre, ADBC, features the remote inspection of commercial facilities and monitoring of stores and shoppers in Abu Dhabi’s shopping areas to ensure their compliance of preventive measures against COVID-19.

"The department will also showcase the recently launched ‘Maak’ initiative, an interactive platform between ADDED’s consultants and all customers, including investors and entrepreneurs, as well as the ‘Tahaqaq’ service being administered by ADBC on its website www.adbc.gov.ae, which enables customers to inquire about the business licenses registered in Abu Dhabi and ensures that economic facilities obtain the required official licenses," he concluded.
