The sixth edition of the World Government Summit (WGS 2018) has received support from a number of partners who joined together to praise the UAE in its efforts to encourage dialogue and action, tackle various challenges facing humanity and affect change for the good.
Dr Shamsheer Vayalil, Chairman and Managing Director of Featured Partner VPS Healthcare, described the Summit as “a robust, cross-cultural platform that is playing an important role in shaping the future of our nations by connecting innovation and technology to address challenges facing humanity”.
“The WGS aggregates the best ideas and resources from governments and organizations from across the world, helping build bridges for our future, and foster collaboration and learning,” added Dr Vayalil.
Sunny Varkey, founder of Featured Partner GEMS Education, said: “The World Government Summit has become a platform for world leaders and governments to engage in thought-provoking and future-focused dialogues that aim to improve the lives of citizens worldwide.
“A first-rate education system, which is a key pillar of the National Agenda leading to the UAE Vision 2021, is a critical element of the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to build a knowledge-based economy that positively impacts the lives of all residents.
“GEMS Education is closely aligned with the vision of the UAE’s leadership as we continue to reaffirm our commitment to education in the country. Through our partnership with the Summit we hope to draw from our many years of experience in this field to add value to the governmental efforts to create a world-class education system.”
Yusuffali Ma, Chairman of Featured Partner LuLu Group, said: “We have always cherished our partnership with WGS and the way it has grown every year. This year’s WGS promises to be the biggest yet and I am looking forward to being part of the various engaging and interactive sessions lined up with world leaders.
“Obviously, the fact that this year India is the guest country makes it all the more exciting. UAE and India have long been the best of business partners and I am sure that WGS 2018 will take the historical ties to a whole new level.”
Dr Rajen A Kilachand, Chairman and President of Feature Partner Dodsal Group, said: “This is the century of the MENA region, South Asia and Asia economically, politically, socially and culturally. Therefore, the World Government Summit is becoming the primary gathering of its kind for the global thought leaders.”
Dr B.R. Shetty, Chairman of UAE Exchange Group, said: “Traditionally, effective governance has been viewed through the lens of public welfare, inclusive growth and social change. Today, it is also about efficacy and the confidence it instills in the public.
Above all, it is about a futuristic vision and a plan to actualise it. The UAE is a stellar example of how a country can set a leadership vision so encompassing so as to be a beacon of positive change for its people and to the wider world.”
Dr Shetty added: “As a business group touching the lives of millions, we experience the transforming power of this vision. The World Government Summit charts a clear path for the fruition of this vision where the confluence of leadership and intellect works towards the greater good of humanity.”
Abdulla Al Habbai, Chairman of Dubai Holding, partner of the innovative Edge of Government experience, said: “We are proud to be the strategic partner for the Edge of Government innovation experience. Innovation is our guiding principal at Dubai Holding, where we have presented solutions, groundbreaking projects and stimulating initiatives for an improved and happier nation. We are very excited to host select global innovations, and a space to instigate creative thinking. We are committed to be working with governments and global partners to promote innovation to solve the most pressing challenges of our time.” — SG
