Chief Partnership Officer - AI & Cloud for Sovereignty - Middle East, Africa, Central Eastern Europe, and Central Asia
It’s such wonderful news to see that the UAE has jumped three places to rank #7 spot globally in the prestigious IMD World Competitiveness rankings. This isn't just a one-time win - it's the 8th year in a row the UAE has led the Middle East and North Africa region. It’s a strong tell of brilliant growth in conjunction with the demand of the planet and people. The competitiveness translates directly to economic success if a region or a country is capable of matching the pace of adaptation with: 🔰The transition to a low-carbon, circular economy. 🔰Successfully bringing emerging markets into the global fold. 🔰Keeping pace with the ever-changing tech landscape. The report also highlights the three biggest trends impacting businesses today: 🟩 AI Revolution: Companies need to navigate the potential of AI to improve efficiency without disrupting operations. 🟩 Global Slowdown: The risk of a global economic slowdown needs to be factored into strategies. 🟩 Geopolitical Uncertainty: Navigating a complex geopolitical landscape is a growing challenge. The UAE is well-positioned to tackle these challenges! The commitment to innovation, by integrating technologies like AI, shown by private and public entities is commendable. The country's leadership also understands the importance of molding a sustainable and adaptable economy and I’m so thrilled to see all the efforts going in the right direction. https://lnkd.in/d7X2nnQr #IMD #GlobalCompetitiveness #UAE
