The inaugural Economy Middle East Summit took place in May 2024 at ADGM with Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri attending. The theme was "Accelerating Future Growth." It attracted over 1,000 delegates who engaged in insightful discussions on economic diversification, innovation ecosystems, and global investment trends driving international economic growth.

This upcoming summit promises to build on these discussions by addressing current challenges while unlocking new opportunities for sustainable growth across various sectors.
