Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, most notably the conflict in Gaza, have implications not only for the region, but the world. In navigating growing fractures within and between nations, the meeting will aim to foster dialogue between the Global North and South that can help revitalize international collaboration. The meeting will go beyond just recognizing areas of shared concerns by amplifying humanitarian initiatives where applicable and identifying the partnerships and actions that can help to contain the widening ripple effects of geopolitical instability and build a more resilient global economy.

From the exponential improvements in artificial intelligence to the resurgence of industrial policies, recent trends in innovation and economic policy, along with long-term underinvestment in human development, threaten to widen global inequality and to thwart the progress of the past decades in the fight against poverty. To address these challenges, the meeting will explore the implications of these transformative trends for innovation, human capital and entrepreneurship. The deliberations will aim to support a constructive dialogue about key opportunities, which include emerging economic corridors, technology partnerships and the imperative of job-creating growth.
