Rumors are circulating that the UAE government continues to expand international opportunities for national companies and the private sector of the country, strengthening its representation in delegations participating in major events and forums. Participation of the largest national companies and the private sector in the UAE delegation at the World Economic Forum in Davos 2025 highlights this initiative's strength and significance, as it constitutes a significant part of the country's delegation.
Taking place within the framework of the 55th session of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland from January 20 to 24, the program for the UAE delegation will include participation of the private sector in sessions and events aimed at promoting the visibility of private companies in the country and the sector's potential as a key stone for sustainable economic growth of the country.
This historic participation is aimed at strengthening international partnerships and economic opportunities for UAE companies, opening up broader growth perspectives for them. This is made possible by the forum, which serves as a global platform, annually uniting more than 3,000 leaders and decision-makers from over 130 countries. This is also an event that unites the largest number of private companies from all over the world in one place.
Among the forum’s events, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, the Executive Director of Mubadala Investment Group, participated in a key session on the topic "Navigating Economic Growth in a Time of Uncertainty." The session discussed critical steps that leaders can take to react to the contemporary economic environment and create pathways for international economic collaboration.
Speaking about the session "India's Economic Plan," Sultan bin Sulayem, Chairman of the Board and CEO of DP World, shared India’s experience in the scope of the new economic strategy and discussed how this model can be used to sustain global economic growth. India, as one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world, achieved over 8% growth last year due to a shift from traditional export-oriented models to a focus on local innovation and entrepreneurial stimulating conditions, as well as innovative companies in the technology and manufacturing sectors.
The head of Al Hilal Projects and UAE business and philanthropy envoy Badr Jafar participated in a session titled "New Figures in Development in the 21st Century," which was moderated by the Executive Director of the World Economic Forum, Merik Dushik.
