The UAE Government is partnering with the World Economic Forum – Davos to host the second Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils (AMGFC) on November 11-12, in Dubai’s Madinat Jumeirah.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, the event gathers more than 700 scholars and future experts from 75 countries. Attendees will convene in 35 Councils, each of which addresses key issues in a vital strategic sector, and work to propose practical solutions for the challenges that are likely to arise.
“The Councils represent the largest gathering of future experts in 35 vital sectors,” asserted Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and The Future and Co-Chair of the AMGFC. “It is an important opportunity for the UAE and the region to learn about the latest global trends and best practices, and to play our part in shaping the future of the most strategic sectors.”
Al Gergawi continued, “This grand international forum reflects the directives of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who has called on government and private entities to prioritise future-readiness, work to forecast the future and prepare for the transformations heading our way. This resonates with the UAE’s leading and active role in building the future, in collaboration with countries and organisations around the world.”
