The technological revolution accelerated by the pandemic is fundamentally changing today’s business world. The future of the business is shaped by the companies that look forward rather than back, learning from the future, operating sustainably, using supply unbounded, integrating the virtual and physical worlds.
At our recent UNITE Dubai event it was highlighted how the transformations taking place in the business world are forcing companies to rethink what, where, and why of their operating models. In order to succeed, every organisation needs to become a forward-thinking business.
For two days, over 150 of the leading high-level public and private figures from the UAE, representing forward-thinking companies shared their vision of the future and started a dialogue between the industries at Unite, from next-generation blockchain infrastructure that fuels the dawn of unparalleled wealth creation via digital property to alternative payment solutions, digital solutions have a positive impact on organisations and mental health.
We are so very lucky to be headquartered in a country which embraces innovation, trade relations and tomorrow’s world in the way that the UAE does. It is rare that you will find a gathering such as the ones created by Unite. This is because at its very core its motive and its agenda is one of social good, of bringing together those visionaries, pioneers and principals of private wealth to learn, to leave with something more than when they arrived.
Listening to our inspirational speakers and meeting our partners in an invitation-only environment allows a level of engagement, connectivity and building of relationships that is very rarely found.
The reality of the present is that companies that embrace change, rethink, and reinvent themselves will succeed in the future and inspire other organisations to do better. Forward-thinking principles and the need of embracing more evolving models were shared by speakers like:
Ahmed Bin Sulayem (below), Executive Chairman and CEO at DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre), talked about the growth and exciting direction of travel for Dubai and the UAE.
DMCC will join our upcoming global roadshow, with UNITE events planned in Dubai, Monaco, Zurich, São Paulo, New York and at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
There were powerful words from James Morgon, Senior Adviser Milken Institute on the impact and cost of issues such as loneliness, and the importance and the opportunity of primordial health. Plus, was visionary thinking from Andrew Kessler – CTO and Co-Founder Zenotta AG on the future of blockchain. And, Staff Writer, Editor in Chief at Arabian Business, our exclusive media partner, helped break down some barriers on a truly important topic, that of mental health.
This for me this all underlined the importance of those with the power to change things coming together.
We created the Unite events to bring together the leading private wealth groups from the regions it visits, along with senior government members and high-profile leaders to connect and engage, build partnerships, expand trade between countries, and give insights on investments trends and emerging sectors. Throughout unique relationships around the world, this has brought together many high-level decision-makers in private, intimate, and highly exclusive settings, addressing some of the pitfalls of traditional conferences and trade shows. Through this approach, we can create an environment where tangible and effective business takes place.
