Deloitte is bringing research-backed perspectives to the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai, reinforcing its role as Knowledge Partner and positioning itself at the center of global discussions on how governments can adapt to rapid technological, economic, and societal change.
The summit, taking place from February 3 to 5 under the theme Shaping Future Governments, convenes global leaders to examine the policies, technologies, and governance models shaping the next era of public-sector transformation.
As Knowledge Partner, Deloitte is contributing strategic research across four priority areas influencing government agendas worldwide: national infrastructure and credible deterrence, AI-driven trade models for emerging economies, smart and sustainable cities, and AI-powered health nations.
These focus areas address the growing need for resilient infrastructure, diversified economic engines, future-ready urban development, and intelligent health ecosystems powered by data and artificial intelligence. Deloitte’s insights aim to support governments as they navigate geopolitical uncertainty, fast-moving innovation, and rising public expectations.
Mutasem Dajani, CEO of Deloitte Middle East, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping governments anticipate risks, design adaptive regulatory frameworks, and build institutional capability in a digital-first world.
Muhannad Tayem, Government and Public Services Leader at Deloitte Middle East, noted that the firm has supported the summit for 12 years, contributing to global dialogue on innovation, evidence-based policymaking, and sustainable development.
Deloitte’s ongoing advisory work with regional governments spans national vision programs, digital transformation strategies, and large-scale infrastructure initiatives, reinforcing its role as a key public-sector advisor.
