one-of-its-kind global platform for disseminating insights, ideas, and best practices to enhance
knowledge generation and distribution. In line with this, every year it convenes experts and

specialists from different fields to exchange innovative solutions that will support efforts to
attain sustainable development at all levels. At present, the summit reflects our relentless

efforts to stay updated with Dubai’s plans to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) in all sectors to
support digital transformation and keep pace with global technological changes to ensure

maximum readiness for the future. As a result, this year’s summit will focus on the most
significant challenges societies have been facing, including the development of human skills
and the role of the AI economy in determining the direction of different industries.”

Dubai’s position as a global hub for knowledge and innovation by opening broad horizons for
discussion and interaction with a selection of global thinkers, innovators, pioneers, and

decision-makers. We anticipate that this year’s event will present a significant opportunity to
broaden the scope of international collaboration, particularly in the fields of AI, knowledge,

technology, and entrepreneurship, in collaboration with UNDP, and to support initiatives aimed
at accomplishing Sustainable Development Goals and devising solutions to address global
issues.”

Furthermore, H.E. bin Huwaireb highlighted one of the major events on the sidelines of the
