A significant highlight will be a gathering of 100 important AI specialists to explore the role of AI in governance. Prominent CEOs from large organizations such as Google and IBM will also participate in conversations, highlighting the need of partnership between governments and the private sector. The sessions will include governance transparency, economic sustainability, and the impact of technological breakthroughs on policy and urban resilience.
WGS 2025 will also celebrate excellent governance achievements with renowned awards, such as the Best Minister in the World and the Global Government Excellence Award. The UAE's election as the permanent headquarters for BRICS strengthens its position in global governance. Dubai Municipality will also introduce a new smart building model that is consistent with the city's objective for sustainable urban development. With a strong emphasis on future-ready policies and international collaboration, WGS 2025 is poised to catalyze revolutionary discussions that shape global governance.
