An inaugural gathering of global leaders and experts is set to convene in Dubai, aiming to address the challenges of the next generation. Organized by the World Economic Forum and the Dubai government, the three-day Annual Meeting of Global Future Leaders will bring together 15 ministers and over 100 chief executives. However, the focus will be on young leaders who should play a role in governance and decision-making, according to the organizers.
Alois Zwinggi, WEF president and CEO, emphasized that today's decisions will determine the world the next generation inherits. He stressed the importance of young leaders having a voice in these decisions, not merely having to endure their outcomes.
Six key themes have been identified for the meeting: geopolitical uncertainty, technological disruption, economic resilience and prosperity, leadership, science and innovation, and climate and nature. AI is expected to be a central topic, with discussions on its potential for sustainable development in the region.
Minister of Cabinet Affairs Mohammed Al Gergawi highlighted the significance of preparing future leaders in this era of rapid technological, economic, and geopolitical shifts. He stressed that by engaging emerging voices worldwide, the aim is to empower them with the knowledge and tools required to transform challenges into opportunities for innovation, growth, and sustainable development.
