DUBAI-FUTURE-FOUNDATION
Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) launched the “Future Opportunities Report: The Global 50” today, highlighting the major opportunities, transformations and trends shaping the future of governments, economies, sectors, and ultimately the future of humanity.
The third edition of the yearly report was strategically launched at the largest annual government gathering in the world and a global platform for exploring the future of governments. The 50 opportunities outlined in the report are categorised into five main categories, including: Health Reimagined, Nature Restored, Societies Empowered, Systems Optimised, and Transformational Innovations. The opportunities were identified based on four assumptions: Lives Will Be Longer and Healthier, Climate Change Will Persist, Inequalities Will Continue, Technology Will Continue to Advance.
The launch of this report comes within a series of reports issued by the Dubai Future Foundation, the latest of which was “10 Megatrends Shaping Our Future,” launched during the World Governments Summit 2024 hosted in Dubai in February.

Nature Restored

Societies Empowered
Opportunities in the area of empowering communities include: leveraging digital transformations to safeguard culture; adopting new approaches to promoting mental health; making AI solutions accessible; and benefiting from new pathways of development in different societies.
10 Megatrends
The report, prepared in collaboration with 25 global experts and several partners of the Dubai Future Foundation, also outlines the top 10 megatrends that will shape the future of these opportunities and help turn them into reality.
