In line with H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's vision of developing UAE as an excellence hub, the Dubai Quality Group was set up as a non-profit organization by the Dubai Department of Economic Development, under patronage of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. Formed in February 1994, DQG has since grown to include more than 75,000 individuals representing prominent organizations from both the private and the public sectors.
