3/7/24, 11:15 AM Dubai to host Future Festival 2024: A revolutionary summit for Innovation trends driven by AI
The summit seeks to delve deep into the untapped potential of artificial intelligence. It aims to
encourage attendees and foster meaningful discussions through activities, including Trend Talks,
Tech Demos, Customised Workshops, Trend Panel Discussions, and Keynotes on Policy and
Governance. The summit will additionally feature speakers, such as Jeremy Gutsche, the award-
winning author, CEO & Innovation Expert, to discuss AI and the Inflection Point. This is
expected to provide attendees with a more comprehensive picture on how AI can serve as
catalysts for further advancements and innovation in the future.

Jeremy Gutsche, award-winning author, CEO & Innovation Expert at Trend Hunter
stated: “As the host city, Dubai is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to technological
advancements as well as building a platform to generate discussions that provide a glimpse into
the future of artificial intelligence. We are confident that this summit will transform the
innovation landscape, and we are truly honoured to be playing a significant role in encouraging
global efforts and cooperation.”

The UAE has demonstrated its commitment to fostering and advancing the growth of artificial
intelligence by launching the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031, which seeks to
enhance the adoption of this transformative technology across numerous vital sectors, including
education and government services. This strategy aims to position the country as a global hub for
AI. Similarly, Dubai has also embarked on various initiatives to promote AI and its potential as a
revolutionary technology. The emirate has been rightfully named the ‘City of Future’ as its
technological and innovation leadership across numerous key sectors, from health and hospitality
to retail, has been remarkable, fostering an environment conducive to growth. In the coming
years, it is projected that the AI market in the Middle East would expand considerably as more
and more companies have started to integrate AI into their operations. PwC research has found
that artificial intelligence would account for about 14 percent of the UAE’s GDP by 2030, while
the Middle East would reap 2 percent ($320 billion) of the total global benefits of AI.

DXB LIVE, being one of the fastest-growing event agencies in the Middle East, will deliver its
extensive expertise in planning and organising large-scale events, while Trend Hunter, the
world’s largest community for trend spotting across industries, will offer its valuable insights
into the constantly changing world of technology. Together, they represent a powerful
combination that promises a significant meeting platform.

The summit will serve as an ideal arena to journey through the uncharted territory of artificial
intelligence, sparking global discussion on this disruptive technology and assisting companies to
navigate the complexities of this new frontier. It promises to be a landmark gathering that unites
top innovators from around the world to shape a better future.
