The UAE and World Economic Forum (WEF) launched an integrated strategic intelligence platform that collates policy topics of strategic importance to the UAE into one place. 

The digital platform will pool vast amounts of knowledge from around 450 global sources and 2,500 experts.

Its purpose is to inform UAE policymakers, strategists, and government leaders to execute “We the UAE 2031,” a national plan aiming to position the UAE as a global partner and an attractive and influential economic hub.

The platform’s activation took place at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils (AMGFC24), organized by the UAE Government in partnership with WEF, this week.

The UAE government and WEF has signed a deal to launch the platform during the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos last January.

Managing Director of WEF, Olivier Schwab, said "By integrating strategic intelligence into the ‘We the UAE 2031 vision,’ the UAE showcases how advanced intelligence and future-oriented thinking can enhance government capabilities.”

Schwab added, “The platform will support the UAE Government's continuous development efforts, enhancing its global leadership in developing and implementing solutions to global challenges.”

Its content stems from a wide range of reports, academic articles, and expert insights, including from WEF’s partner network. It also contains data sets that will support policymaking. In addition to providing knowledge, the platform represents a space for government leaders to exchange ideas and initiatives, fostering a more collaborative approach to public sector strategy.
