With its focus on the utilisation of innovation and technology to help governments and communities to confront the global challenges and the impact of innovation, applied science and technologies on the future of governments' work in education, healthcare, economy and sustainability, the Summit is bringing together local, regional and global innovation leaders and people with successful experiences especially from the World Bank and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the World Economic Forum to share and promote best practices, she added.

H.E. Hamad Buamim, President and CEO, Dubai Chamber stated that the organisation of this strategic summit reflects on the UAE Government's efforts to introduce innovation in various aspects of economic and social life and is part of its action to harness innovation and technology amongst its people and traders, adding that this support is part of the public private sector partnership as Dubai Chamber represents the private sector in the emirate.

He further stressed that since its inception the Summit has become a knowledge exchange platform at the intersection between government, futurism, technology and innovation.
