global economy—the very landscape our programs at the Academy are designed to navigate. We empower UAE citizens with
the skills to succeed in areas like finance, investment, and entrepreneurship, mirroring the summit's focus on equipping
decision-makers with actionable insights. By fostering financial awareness and future-oriented thinking, we prepare the next

generation of leaders to thrive in the complex world of global trade and contribute to a resilient future economy. Our support
for the event underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge knowledge and fostering collaboration to address the
critical issues facing global trade today.”

Across two days, attendees will:

Discover evidence-based case studies as opposed to hypotheticals and predictions. More than 60 expert case-study
speakers will spark vital discussions and deliver practical takeaways.

Network with 80 supply chain and procurement executive speakers from leading organisations.
Analyse the transition from just-in-time models to more complex, resilient supply chains. Executives will leave with

Americana Foods and the World Economic Forum.

Additionally, the agenda features extensive networking opportunities and cross-industry sessions to leverage synergies and

encourage cross-sector engagement.
