Empowering Breakthroughs: Sustainability Forum

JUNE 18, 2025

Radisson Red, Dubai Silicon Oasis, United Arab Emirates
08:30 - 14:45

A high-impact gathering of change-makers, innovators, and industry leaders shaping the future of sustainability in the region at Dubai Silicon Oasis. This year’s forum explored the UAE’s Green Agenda 2030, the transformative role of startups, and cutting-edge developments in green infrastructure, fashion, energy, and more.

From decarbonisation and sustainable supply chains to smart cities and the next wave of renewable energy, we’ll tackle the big questions: Who leads in sustainability? How can public-private partnerships drive progress? And what does a truly sustainable Middle East look like?
