The theme of this year’s summit – ‘Innovate for Next Gen’, will explore diverse elements shaping the future of global
economy, across five key topics: ‘Economic Powerhouse’, ‘Technology and Industrial Transformation’, ‘Leadership

collectively overseeing a capital base of USD 3.5 trillion across 140 financial institutions with a combined corporate
wealth of USD 900 billion. The summit also saw participation from the representatives of the UAE Ministry of
Economy and leading conglomerates such as Trip.com, Asset Management One (Japan), and Beijing Academy of
AI, among others.
