Dubai will host the inaugural Dubai Future Week 2026 from November 18 to 21, bringing together leading thinkers, innovators, scientists, entrepreneurs, policymakers and investors to explore the forces shaping humanity’s future.
Announced by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, the four-day event will be held across Emirates Towers and the Museum of the Future. More than 10,000 participants are expected to attend, making the gathering a major international platform for ideas, innovation and collaboration.
Organised by the Dubai Future Foundation, the event will feature keynote speeches, debates, workshops, exhibitions, competitions, idea pitches, immersive experiences and specialist discussions. The programme will focus on five major areas: the future of living, intelligence, discovery, wellbeing and markets.
The event aims to move beyond simply predicting technological change, examining how emerging developments will affect everyday life, work, health, cities and economic opportunities.
Sheikh Hamdan said Dubai intends to remain a global meeting point for ambitious ideas and future-focused leaders, helping transform innovative concepts into practical solutions that can create meaningful impact for people and communities.
