Date & time

Location
Emirates Towers
Dubai Future Week is being held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Dubai Future Foundation. The event is organised by Dubai Future Foundation.
The week brings together futurists, entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, creators and innovators to explore how humanity will live, think, innovate, feel and do business in the decades ahead. During the event, Dubai becomes a platform for conversations, discoveries, competitions, exhibitions, partnerships and experiences that shape what comes next. Not to predict the future. To build it.
Every year, thousands of events explore the future of technology.
Dubai Future Week asks a different question.
What does the future mean for humanity?
Somewhere in the future...
Dubai Future Week is where we begin having those conversations.
Every age of transformation has had its city.
A place where ideas meet ambition.
Where people come not simply to imagine the future, but to create it.
Today, that place is Dubai.
A city that has chosen to treat change as an opportunity. Where the government
works alongside entrepreneurs, scientists, investors and creators to test new ideas and regulations, shape emerging technologies and rethink what tomorrow could look like.
For the past decade, Dubai Future Foundation has helped transform that ambition into measurable impact. Established in 2016, the Foundation is responsible for designing and enabling Dubai's future economy and society through foresight, innovation, human-centric design, entrepreneurship and future talent. Dubai Future Week is the next chapter in that journey.
