Through thirteen open and five closed sessions, the summit will focus on the future of the region in the light of key international changes, and will examine the role of Arab governments in laying the foundations of a future phase that will give them the opportunity to better impact the making of the global future.

Dergham also added that “the decision of the United Arab Emirates to host this summit proves the prominent role of Abu Dhabi in supporting growth and prosperity in the region and globally. Beirut Institute, concluded Dergham “has already shown its potential as a catalyst for dynamic change, and as an independent and non-partisan think tank for the Arab region with global reach. This timely and imperative summit is hence taking the lead in contemplating the future of the Arab region, locally and globally”.

From his part, HRH Prince Turki Al Faisal, Chairman of King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, Member of the Board of Directors of the Beirut Institute, described the Beirut Institute as “a group of thinkers that look at the Arab world with a discerning eye, an open mind, and a heart full of advice”.

We thank Abu Dhabi for hosting the second edition of Beirut Institute Summit and for giving us such boost and confidence."

Beirut Institute Summit is a collaborative initiative impacting the Region, proactively. Our focus is on designing actionable policies and innovative solutions to turn back the forces of destruction and advance the construction of the Arab Region’s engagement in the emerging global future.
