This year’s forum brought over 2,500 experts and guests from 100 countries. It included over 70 talks and workshops where people discussed important topics like health, technology, energy, and the environment.

The Dubai Foresight Awards will have three main groups:

1. Foresight Change Makers – For people who create new ideas and methods to plan for the future.
2. Foresight for People – For teams or individuals who use future planning to improve the lives of others.
3. Foresight for the Planet – For those who focus on saving and protecting the environment.

These awards match Dubai’s goal to build a future-focused system that will help future generations with smart and useful ideas.

This year’s forum also discussed space, food, and how to improve health and technology. There were five main topics: Foresight Insights, Transforming Humanity, Empowering Generations, Future Nature, and Optimizing Health.

The Dubai Future Forum is a place where smart people from around the world come to share ideas and work together to solve big problems. Dubai is dedicated to bringing people together to make the future better for everyone.
