The Dubai Future Forum will serve as a global platform to exchange experiences and ideas in designing the future and enhancing the quality of life in societies.

It will also enhance cooperation between governments, institutions, individuals, and help establish effective global partnerships to create new future opportunities in many vital sectors.
