FORTUNE GLOBAL FORUM AI IMMERSION: VISIT TO MBZUAI 

Hosted by Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development
It is estimated that AI could contribute $320 billion to the Middle East economy
by 2030, with the UAE seeing the greatest gains. On this special learning
journey, we’ll visit the Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial
Intelligence (MBZUAI), the world's first graduate-level, research-based AI
university. Launched in October 2019 and located in Masdar City, the university
ranks in the top 20 of world-class research in AI, CS, data sciences, and
related disciplines such as health care, sustainability, and education. It is
also playing a key role in shaping and executing the UAE government’s national
AI strategy. Delegates will engage in an interactive dialogue with MBZUAI’s
president (one of the world’s foremost experts in AI), meet with students and
faculty, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how the university is applying AI
to real-world challenges.
Dr. Eric P. Xing, President and University Professor, MBZUAI

WELCOME FROM ABU DHABI

ADVANCING GLOBAL CLIMATE ACTION
Global leaders soon will gather to address how to fast-track the transition to a
low-carbon world, ensure the transition is just and inclusive, and fix climate
finance. In this opening interview, we’ll explore the UAE’s long-term climate
strategy, its transition to a green economy, and the leadership role it hopes to
play in facilitating a global climate dialogue and championing sustainable
development.
H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, UAE;
Group CEO, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company; President-Designate, COP 28

A NEW ERA FOR BUSINESS
The combination of extraordinary advances in technology, an existential climate
threat, volatile geopolitics, and unpredictable market conditions present
business with a challenge in the next decade to turn unprecedented risk into
unprecedented opportunity. How can companies take advantage of the rerouting of
global economic ties and the reshaping of globalization as we’ve known it? And
what are the implications for both business and society? In this opening
session, we’ll set the table with what’s top of mind for every global CEO and
assess how companies can navigate through uncertainty and keep pace with the
seismic shifts reshaping the marketplace.
Christian Ulbrich, Chief Executive Officer, JLL
Additional Speakers TBA

DRIVING FORWARD WITH DATA
When it comes to staying competitive, few brands out there know more about speed
and beating all odds than McLaren Racing. Winner of 20 Formula 1 world
championships and hundreds of Grand Prix competitions, McLaren has long been an
example of expert data analytics and precision engineering, a skillset French
pharma giant Sanofi is hoping to harness. Pharma and racing may seem like an
unorthodox collaboration, but we’ll hear all about the power of partnerships and
how data can be used to drive manufacturing lines into high gear, enhance
performance, and improve the bottom line.
Zak Brown, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Racing
Paul Hudson, Chief Executive Officer, Sanofi

CLIMATE INNOVATION SPOTLIGHT: TURNING CO2 INTO ROCK
While many technologies have been developed to capture CO2 from the atmosphere,
eliminating tons of it cheaply and safely remains daunting. Meet one startup
that is removing CO2 permanently by mineralizing it in peridotite, a rock found
in abundance in the UAE and Oman as well as in America, Europe, Asia, and
Australasia. This startup’s goal: to make gigaton CO2 removal possible by
scaling peridotite mineralization worldwide.
Talal Hasan, Founder and CEO, 44.01; Winner, 2022 Earthshot Prize

THE GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSITION
The International Energy Agency has warned that in order to reach the global
benchmark to cap global warming to 1.5 degree C, fossil fuel demand has to fall
by a quarter this decade and clean energy investments must double, to more than
$4.5 trillion, by the early 2030s. As the world tries to outgrow its fossil fuel
dependency, new forms of renewable energy are also starting to take hold. What
innovations are needed to accelerate decarbonization and create pathways to
clean energy?
Majid Jafar, Chief Executive Officer, Crescent Petroleum
Francesco La Camera, Director-General, International Renewable Energy Agency
