Switzerland: The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the UAE Government have entered into a partnership agreement to develop the “We the UAE for Strategic Intelligence 2031” platform. This platform is a digital model driven by artificial intelligence that combines the finest worldwide knowledge resources with international experts in a range of sectors.
The platform aims to support policymakers, strategists, and government leaders in the UAE with a specialized strategic knowledge base in priority sectors outlined in the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.
The agreement was signed during the World Economic Forum 2024, in the presence of Mr. Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, the Minister of Cabinet Affairs, and Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum.
Ms. Huda Al Hashimi, Deputy Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Strategic Affairs, and Stephan Mergenthaler, Head of Strategic Intelligence, World Economic Forum, have signed the agreement.

The platform represents a meaningful initiative to uphold the targets outlined in the vision ‘We the UAE 2031’. It involves the development of a new model for strategic design, powered by artificial intelligence, utilizing specialized global resources, and harnessing data and information provided by over 2500 international experts and more than 450 global sources.
The platform is empowered by artificial intelligence technology tools to provide swift and accurate analyses. This includes summaries of the latest research, studies, and possible scenarios related to each topic, as well as key strategic trends and practices.
