Transitioning economies
The event will emphasize the Middle East’s significant shift from an oil-dependent economy to a
hub of innovation, largely driven by free-trade agreements that promote international investments
and technological advancements. As the region diversifies its economy, attention is also turning to
ASEAN, which experts anticipate will become the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2030. During
the summit, experts will examine the abundant resources and strong governance that have fueled
this growth, while also addressing the challenges posed by climate change and the necessity for
collaborative energy transitions.
Innovations in finance
In the financial sector, discussions will center on the future of digital banking, focusing on how
institutions adapt to rapid disruption and innovation. The summit will also delve into the rise of
fintech innovations, paving the way for Web 3.0, and how to navigate regulatory challenges to
achieve inclusive growth. Additionally, the financial landscape is experiencing a shift toward green
energy, with projections of an astonishing $11 trillion investment in renewable asset-backed
cryptocurrencies by 2050. Blockchain technology is poised to redefine financial intermediation,
emphasizing the need to democratize access to capital in response to these swift changes. The
summit will explore these trends, showcasing a future where innovation, sustainability, and
collaboration are central to economic development in both the Global East and Global South.
Commitment to future generations
The theme “Innovate for Next Gen” reflects the summit’s steadfast commitment to fostering
development. The term “innovate” underscores a proactive dedication to finding solutions for
pressing global challenges, while “NextGen” highlights the multifaceted aspects of global economic
power, including technology, leadership, and investment.
