2nd Hili Forum 2025 opens in Abu Dhabi, bringing

together leading decision-makers to discuss global

strategic transformations

The second edition of the Hili Forum opened today in Abu Dhabi under the theme “Global Reset:
Trade, Tech, and Governance.”

Organised by the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) in collaboration with
the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy (AGDA), the two-day Forum highlights the UAE’s role as a
hub for dialogue on pressing global challenges.

This year’s edition brings together more than 1,000 participants and 70 speakers from over 30
countries to explore the key transformations reshaping the international order in politics,
economics, and technology.

Day One discussions focused on two core areas driving global shifts: geopolitics and
geoeconomics. Geopolitics sessions examined intensifying competition among major powers, the
growing influence of middle powers, and the opportunities for building new partnerships as the
balance of global power continues to shift. Geoeconomics sessions analyzed the impact of
economic fragmentation and divergent trade policies on the global economy, while addressing
strategies for adaptation through innovation and repositioning.
