Abu dhabi: The Statistics Centre – Abu Dhabi (SCAD) unveiled Bayaan 4.0 and Tbyaan during GITEX GLOBAL 2025 as part of its commitment to establishing an AI-native statistical ecosystem that contributes to Abu Dhabi’s Digital Strategy 2025-2027 and supports its vision of becoming the world’s first AI-native government.
According to Emirates News Agency, more than 40 entities are using the fourth generation of Bayaan, which introduces advanced analytical and conversational capabilities that empower faster, smarter, and more informed decision-making. With its enhanced Bayaan AI feature, users can interact with official statistics using natural language, simulate policy scenarios, and generate foresight-driven insights that foster innovation across government.
Building on its analytical capabilities, Bayaan 4.0 integrates geospatial statistics and district-level intelligence, allowing users to visualize and analyze data across geographical layers with ease. This feature enables policymakers to monitor trends, assess community-level dynamics, and design targeted initiatives that address the diverse needs of each community in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. By linking spatial data with socio-economic indicators, Bayaan enhances data-informed urban planning and service delivery.
Complementing Bayaan 4.0, Tbyaan is the world’s first platform to unify and govern statistical production across the statistical ecosystem in Abu Dhabi. Built on the internationally recognized Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM), Tbyaan enables statistical producers to coordinate statistical work, ensure quality and consistency, and monitor performance, all while maintaining comprehensive data governance.
Currently adopted by 13 government entities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Tbyaan facilitates collaboration among statistical producers through standardized workflows, performance monitoring, and data validation solutions. These ensure alignment with SCAD’s standards and global methodologies, reinforcing the credibility and reliability of official statistics. In doing so, Tbyaan establishes a new global benchmark for integrated, standards-based statistical governance, positioning Abu Dhabi at the forefront of statistical innovation worldwide.
Abdulla Gharib Alqemzi, Director General of SCAD, emphasized the significance of Bayaan and Tbyaan in Abu Dhabi’s vision of an AI-native government, stating, “Bayaan and Tbyaan represent our commitment to Abu Dhabi’s vision of an AI-native government, a government that thinks with intelligence, acts with foresight, and decides with confidence.”
Badria Abdulla Obaid, Executive Director of Foresight and Communications, SCAD, highlighted the transformative impact of Bayaan AI, noting that it enables decision-makers to anticipate future outcomes and make more informed, forward-looking policies through advanced data analytical models and simulation tools.
Dr. Haifa Ali Alhamdani, Executive Director of Strategy and Planning, SCAD, pointed out that Tbyaan sets a global standard for unified statistical production by harmonizing methodologies and integrating workflows across the producers of official statistics in Abu Dhabi Emirate.
During GITEX 2025, SCAD hosted two workshops showcasing its ongoing efforts to advance data literacy and maximize societal value. The first workshop highlighted progress in SCAD’s Data for Good Initiative, which promotes responsible data collaboration for societal benefit, delivering key outputs like the Producer Price Index (PPI), Industrial Production Index (IPI), and Construction Cost Index (CCI).
The second workshop introduced the Bayaan application, demonstrating how the platform improves data accessibility and engagement through intuitive dashboards and open access to official statistics, empowering users, researchers, and businesses. These initiatives reflect Abu Dhabi’s leadership in redefining how governments utilize intelligence, turning data into a foundation for strategic foresight, evidence-based policymaking, and effective governance.
