Avasant summit to highlight tech opportunities in GCC region in shift away from oil-based economy

Dubai: Experts and industry leaders will come together in Dubai later this week to brainstorm how the Gulf Cooperation Council, and the UAE in particular, can take further strides in the adoption of digital technology as the region slowly shifts away from an oil-based economic model. With a focus especially on ‘Imagination to Action’, the Avasant Empowering Beyond Middle East Summit 2023 will see senior executives from innovative companies, leading local and regional conglomerates, and public sector institutions highlight the opportunities for the region in the new world order that has seen “globalisation switching more towards regionalisation”. “Imagination to Action reflects our vision for a resilient and innovative future and signals an outlook towards meaningful and tangible outcomes as we translate concepts to reality. Over the next year, with unprecedented breakthroughs in technology, we will be able to power the future through creative solutions and unlock new and exciting levels of the human experience,” Avasant said in a statement. Taking place on Wednesday, February 8 at the Address Fountain View in Dubai, the seminar will cover agendas such as better governance through technology, creating a digital ecosystem for partners, and creating models for sustainable and equitable hyper growth.
