00:00As governments around the world confront accelerating artificial intelligence, climate pressure and economic uncertainty,
00:07organisers in Dubai today unveiled what they say will be the most ambitious edition yet of the World Government Summit.
00:14Set under the theme Shaping the Future, Governments, the 2026 edition will bring together more than 150 government delegations
00:23across a series of high-level forums on artificial intelligence, education, mobility, sustainability and economic resilience.
00:35Organisers say that this edition reflects a world under strain and a growing belief that the challenges ahead cannot be solved in isolation.
00:42The main and sole intention of the World Government Summit is to shape a better future for humanity.
00:47And that cannot be achieved without the participation, of course, of the governments, of the private sector, of the leaders and the technologists who are building tomorrow's technologies.
00:56Discussing these topics at the platform on issues that we believe are far ahead in the future is what we are trying to do.
01:04We are bringing and accelerating these discussions to happen today in order to avoid the consequences if we do not take these decisions right now and not in the future.
01:13Beyond scale, organisers argue that the summit's impact lies in what happens after the debate's end.
01:20The World Government Summit over the years became the largest school of governments.
01:25Governments come here to learn, to listen, to hear, to share best practices.
01:29But it's not only that. If you stop there, there is no continuation of that equation.
01:34We have seen some of the discussions that happened at the summit in previous years materialises now and becoming a reality that citizens will utilise and benefit from.
01:43For the first time, it will also host the World Laureate Summit, placing Nobel Prize winners and leading scientists directly into policy debates.
01:52Organisers say the aim is to move beyond talk, creating a platform where political leaders, industry and evidence come together at a moment when global systems are under growing strength.
02:03The goal is to narrow the gap between discovery and decision and to bring evidence into rooms where policy is shaped.
02:09The intersection between science and governance was always overseas and scientists will sit on their labs, conduct their research.
02:17But when it comes to implementation, they struggle with convincing everyone that this is the new reality.
02:23What we saw at the World Government Summit over the years, we have hosted a couple of Nobel laureates, some scientists who really inspired governments to perform even policy reforms in order to avoid some issues that might arise in the future.
02:34So today, we have decided to partner with the World Laureate Forum, with the World Laureate Association, to convene the largest number of scientists and the recipients of the most prestigious awards, including Turing, Arab Great Minds, Nobel and other laureates at the World Government Summit to discuss scientific discoveries for the first two days.
02:55And then the intersection between government and scientists on the third day, which is the first day of the World Government Summit.
03:02For the scientists involved, the message they bring is both simple and urgent.
03:07The two most important messages I wish to convey.
03:12First, basic science as the foundation of the modern economy, responsible for its growth and its continued development.
03:21The second most important message, it all depends on support from government.
03:28We cannot depend on industry or philanthropy.
03:32It all depends on support from governments everywhere in the world today.
03:37He argues that this is not a conversation for specialists alone.
03:40It is the importance of not only governments, not only people in industry, but of the world at large, to appreciate the essential nature of basic science.
03:56The summit, he says, creates a rare moment of direct access.
03:59It is a unique opportunity for scientists to speak directly to policymakers and captains of industry.
04:08And that this year, that message will be delivered at an unprecedented scale.
04:12So there will be almost 130 of the world's leading scientists who convene to deliver this important message on February 3rd.
04:22Leaders will arrive not simply to exchange ideas, but to set direction.
04:27The goal is very clear, to leave the decisions, partnerships and shared frameworks that move beyond ambition and into action.
04:34Shaping how nations govern, cooperate and respond to risk.
04:38With regional tensions rising and global systems under strain, organizers say that this particular addition comes at a moment when a delay would carry a real cost.
04:48In a world defined by volatility and rapid change, this is about more than anticipating the future.
04:54It is about deciding how it is built.
04:56And you can imagine that this community is the future.
04:58And it is about taking their Prime Minister's side event.
05:00I have to get this experience with the solution.
