The initiative aligns with global digital transformations and contributes to achieving sustainable development.

The DRA launched many initiatives to raise awareness in digital regulatory and its application in digital markets, as well as supporting state members  in keeping pace with rapid global digital transformations , and achieving several notable accomplishments, including workshops and specialized training programs that benefited more than 900 trainees from more than 100 countries.

The DRA serves as a pioneering platform that brings together expertise and knowledge to promote practical exchange among  member states and highlight Saudi Arabia's efforts in digital regulation internationally. ​
