In 2014 and again in 2015, Tellart leveraged the reflective cultural space of the museum into an impactful setting to both design and encounter new potentials for the future of government services. The Museum of Future Government Services (MoFGS) is a three-day immersive experience featured at the annual Government Summit in Dubai. It explores the ways advanced technologies can transform interactions and portrays a vision of a technologically empowered future wherein governments and societies work together to improve their lives and environments.

Forward-thinking policies are made possible by the communication of visionary approaches, and we believe that the best way to understand a service or product is to experience it. The working prototypes of future potential services at the MoFGS allow thousands of leaders to interact with and experience, rather than merely hear about, imaginative potentials.

The design of these services and their live presentation required intensive creative thought and attention to the cultural traditions of the region. The impact of this program has been enormous: it inspired the launch of two major international innovation competitions, beginning with Drones for Good in 2014, as well as the upcoming launch of a new museum and incubator for innovation, the Museum of the Future in Dubai.

“It’s unexpected and encouraging to see an endeavor like this be sponsored by a government body given governments can often associated with bureaucracy, inefficiency, with not being especially forward-thinking or technologically savvy. It’s highly interactive and neatly executed in a manner appropriate for the topic at hand. The outcomes and impact of the museum are noteworthy. Overall, it’s inspirational and instills a sense of wonder, which is fitting given the purpose of this three-day immersive experience.” —Alia Hassan
