Story details
The Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported on 10 October that Ajman Municipality & Planning Department’s “Smart Investment Maps” project received a 2026 Global Brands Award in the category for Most Advanced Market Analytics and Mapping Solutions. WAM described the project as using digital technology and geospatial data to support investment decision-making and management of investment opportunities.
The report said the award followed a ceremony for the project team and that a department executive presented its objectives, implementation phases and achievements. It did not publish details such as the map’s geographic coverage, data layers, accuracy, access terms or cost. The announcement therefore documents an award and the stated use of geospatial analytics; it does not establish that the maps are a public registry or disclose a measured economic impact.
