The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (@AbuDhabiDED) will host the Fortune Global Forum from November 27–29, 2023, in an innovative move. As the forum launches in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, this is a historic moment. With the upcoming COP28 and the recent high-profile Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Fortune Global Forum is well-positioned to serve as a hub for entrepreneurs, industry experts, and world leaders. Given Abu Dhabi's crucial role in the changing global economic landscape, the forum's agenda will address hot-button issues such emerging technologies, the dynamics of global commerce, and the energy transition.

The UAE, particularly Abu Dhabi, has emerged as a powerhouse, capturing the world's attention with its dynamic approach to sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and innovation. As geopolitical alliances shift, the Gulf region, and the UAE in particular, is at the forefront of this transformation. The Fortune Global Forum provides a platform to showcase the UAE's commitment to environmental protection and sustainability, further solidifying its role as a global leader in these crucial domains.

The analysis of the event's timing, sandwiched between the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and COP28, highlights a deliberate effort to draw attention to the UAE's multifaceted leadership. As the region's global economic influence grows, this forum becomes a crucial meeting ground for exchanging ideas, forging partnerships, and shaping the future of global trade and sustainability. Abu Dhabi's distinctive position as a global innovation and trading hub is underlined, making it a magnet for businesses and talent from around the world. The Fortune Global Forum 2023 promises to be more than just a conference; it's a strategic move that cements the UAE's role as a key player in the global economic landscape.
