Final preparations are underway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for a special meeting of the World Economic Forum on April 28 and 29. Heads of state and senior executives from the public and private sectors will convene to discuss a range of global economic issues and developments under the theme “Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development.” The event aims to find solutions to global challenges related to humanitarian issues, climate, and the economy, with exhibitions and events highlighting sustainability, innovation, and culture.
Riyadh’s selection as host reflects the strong partnership between Saudi Arabia and the WEF, building upon the Kingdom’s participation in the forum’s Annual Meetings in Davos. The meeting’s agenda includes panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities, aiming to rekindle the spirit of cooperation and collaboration and pave the way for a more resilient, sustainable, and equitable world.
