/CNW/ -- In an era where governance, technology, and economic
resilience define the future of nations, the World Governments
Summit (WGS 2025), in its 12th edition, gathers the world's most
influential leaders—from heads of state to tech visionaries—to
shape solutions that will drive global progress over the next
decade.
More than 30 heads of state and government, more than 400
ministers, 80 international organizations, 140 government
delegations, and more than 6,000 participants will gather between
February 11th to

about economic stability, digital transformation, and the way
public-private collaboration can bring meaningful change.
Against a backdrop of accelerating technological change and
geopolitical shifts, WGS stands as the premier platform where
governments, industries, and global institutions drive impactful
change.
"Since its inception in 2013, the World Governments Summit
has been a platform for future-focused thinking, bringing together
leaders, experts, innovators, and entrepreneurs to anticipate and
shape the future," said H.E. Mohammad
Al Gergawi, UAE Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Chairman of
the World Governments Summit. "This year, the Summit fosters a
global dialogue addressing the rapid changes and emerging
challenges facing governments and societies. It aims to evaluate
humanity's progress, identify opportunities for improvement, and
empower future generations through highly effective governance and
a sustainable future."
Driving Global Impact Through Collaboration
The World Governments Summit is designed to drive alternative
solutions that allow governance to intersect with innovation to
drive tangible results. More than 300 global experts will
participate in the debate, culminating in 30 strategic reports.

of mobility, economic resilience, climate adaptation, global health
transformation, emerging frontiers, and population decline, among
others—will be discussed in 21 forums and over 200 interactive
sessions
By fostering global cooperation, knowledge exchange, and
actionable strategies, the summit empowers nations, industries, and
societies to navigate uncertainty as well as build a more
resilient, equitable future for all. Leaders of key international
organizations will participate such as Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the
