5/15/24, 11:21 AM  Future Festival 2024 set to highlight AI-driven innovations and connect industry leaders for the first time in Dubai – Executive Bull…
        Other sessions include ‘Future Tech and the Next Frontier,’ which will be led by Sean

        Scharf,  CCO  of Trend  Hunter,  and  will  highlight  the  transformative  influence  of AI  on

        creativity,  efficiency,  and  consumer  interaction.  In  addition  to  providing  insights  into  a

        smarter, more innovative future, Sean will also discuss the profound effects of AI on the

        workforce,  consumer  experience,  and  everyday  life.  Likewise,  the  ‘Reflection  and

        Reprioritisation’ session will distil the most significant learnings and insights from the

        event for participants.



        According to International Data Corporation, annual spending on AI in the Middle East

        and Africa is anticipated to increase by 32 per cent. The UAE stands to benefit the most

        from this, especially as the technology sector is set to contribute approximately USD 97

        billion to the country’s GDP.



        The UAE is also committed to achieving the goals outlined in the UAE Centennial 2071,

        and  has  begun  integrating  AI  into  government  operations,  which  promises  to  improve

        efficiency and effectiveness, positioning the country as a global leader in AI applications.

        Assuming  that  automation  is  extensively  implemented  in  each  industry,  the  UAE  could

        benefit from an increase in economic output of AED 335 billion.



        The Future Festival, which has Expo City and the Dubai Future Foundation as Strategic

        Partners, not only showcases Dubai’s commitment to advancing AI, but further supports

        the UAE’s broader AI Strategy, which aims to accelerate growth in the fields of community

        welfare,  education,  economy,  and  the  government.  With  its  valuable  insights  into  the

        rapidly  evolving  world  of  technology,  Trend  Hunter  –  the  largest  community  for  trend

        spotting across industries – will also play a key role in supporting this influential forum. As

        expectations  rise,  the  ‘Future  Festival’  will  serve  as  a  point  of  inspiration,  allowing


        participants to embark on a journey of knowledge and collaboration.
