Participants will take a deep dive into the Future of Industries, Future of Cities, Future of Investments, Future of IoT, Future of Jobs, Future of Cyber Security, and Future of Robotics. The insightful experiential sessions will tackle the future trends set to catalyse growth in economies, industries, businesses, and society.

With an exciting lineup of sessions focusing on seven diverse topics, our Future Theatre sets the stage for thought-provoking conversations that will provide valuable insights and fresh perspectives on global trade and investments in a world shaped by digital transformation.”
The opening session will feature a TED-style talk focusing on the Future of Industry pillar. ‘The 4th Industrial Revolution: Powering Future Economies’ will shed light on the significant impact Industry 4.0 will have on the global economy.
The Future of Investments pillar will present a session examining thematic investments, which have grown in importance during the post-pandemic period. The session will also consider the impact of investment opportunities on future societies.
Meanwhile, the Future of Jobs pillar will highlight the career paths of tomorrow and share insights on potential jobs of the future that reflect the fast-evolving digital landscape on a global and local level.
Additional sessions will examine the future of urban planning, how the growing use of AI and machine learning is transforming industries by enabling advanced IoT technologies, and the integration of robotics within the workplace, as well as the impact of ransomware and the importance of adopting robust cybersecurity measures.
The Future Theatre will host focused and intimate sessions that provide additional scope for interaction, creating an engaging platform for meaningful dialogue that complements the forum’s compelling panel discussions and interactive main-stage sessions.
The inaugural edition of the Dubai Business Forum builds on the success of Dubai Chambers’ series of ‘Global Business Forum’ events and is set to play a key role in contributing to the ambitious targets outlined in the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which seeks to double the size of the emirate’s economy over the coming decade.
