Experienced economic environmentRadical changes at the end of the last century and the beginning of the present century, resulting in new concepts and expectations in all aspects of economic, political, social and even behavioral.Each of these concepts is the result of rapid developments in the intangible space. Competition is no longer limited to the mere possession of tangible material resources, but because of its link to knowledge and technology content and to the comprehensive quality standards and efficient and effective policies of States. With the increasing pace of growth and interdependence among the global economies, this resulted in the birth of a new economic system led by technological development and financial liberalization.

Compared to other economies, which will meet the requirements of sustainable development with all its objectives.
Therefore, this study sought to review what is currently known in order to develop the definition of digitization and distinguish it from the digital economy and to assess the size of their development and determine their scope, and to stand on the structure of digitization of economic and knowledge of the most important objectives and assistance. And how to use digitization in achieving the goals of sustainable development, using the inductive method to analyze some of the initiatives of Dubai in digitization, which accelerated the pace of access to sustainable development.
The inductive analysis showed that the economy based on harnessing modern technology to achieve sustainable development is a growing trend towards the prospects of global integration towards a global economy. Dubai's adoption of digitization has contributed to the exclusion of the UAE from the state of isolation experienced by most Arab countries. Seeking to keep pace with developed economies.The study suggested that research and innovation should be encouraged in the field of supporting sustainable development through the use of information technology and digital technology and increasing digital transformation in manufacturing industries, with the adoption of skilled labor in employment, which will be reflected in the increase in gross domestic product and the high standard of living and environmental sustainability.
