World Government Summit 2025: A Glimpse into Global Leadership and Technological Innovations

The ongoing World Government Summit in Dubai features discussions with global leaders including Google's Sundar Pichai, focusing on the role of technology in governance and future challenges.
The 12th edition of the World Government Summit (WGS) in Dubai commenced its second day on February 12, 2025, featuring a full agenda of discussions designed to explore the intersection of technology and governance.

High-profile sessions are ongoing with participation from various global leaders and experts.

The proceedings began with a notable dialogue between Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of the UK and founder of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, and Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle.

They addressed the impact of technology on governance and public policy.

Subsequent sessions include discussions on diverse subjects such as emerging health trends, the evolution of tourism, dynamics in the Arab world, and innovative approaches to governance.

A highlight of the day is expected to be a session featuring Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, and Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications.

Pichai recently attended the AI Action Summit in Paris, where he held talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding opportunities for collaboration on India’s digital transformation.

The WGS is hosting more than 30 heads of state and government, along with 6,000 participants from various sectors.

The summit features over 300 speakers, including political leaders, ministers, and experts, as well as numerous ministerial meetings and roundtables attended by more than 400 ministers.

Among the notable attendees today are Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of the UK; Anura Kumara Dissanayake, President of Sri Lanka; Andry Rajoelina, President of Madagascar; Dasho Tshering Tobgay, Prime Minister of Bhutan; Robinah Nabbanja, Prime Minister of Uganda; and Milojko Spajic, Prime Minister of Montenegro.

The discussions will also focus on how artificial intelligence is shaping multiple sectors, with experts emphasizing its potential for driving economic progress.

Innovations in technology are seen as pivotal in improving lives and business efficiencies, particularly through the development of new applications and solutions.

In a separate session titled 'The New Era of Future Aviation,' leaders in the aviation sector reviewed the essential role of technology and sustainable practices in adapting to global challenges.

Topics discussed included the necessity of public-private partnerships for innovation in the aviation industry and the importance of developing sustainable fuels to reduce carbon emissions.

The summit serves as a platform for leaders around the globe to share insights on advancing governance through technology while addressing both opportunities and risks associated with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.

As discussions continue, the focus remains on fostering international cooperation and responsible governance in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
