World Government Summit 2026

We continued our long-standing partnership with the World Governments Summit in 2026, reinforcing our role as Knowledge Partners to this global platform for dialogue and collaboration. Held from February 3-5, 2026, the Summit convened government leaders, international organisations, and private sector executives to address the defining policy and economic priorities of the coming decade.

This year, our participation centered on two key strategic engagements: the Best Minister Award and the Global Ministers Survey, further strengthening our contribution to global policy discourse and leadership insights.

We also participated in three closed-door roundtables. On Day 1, Hani Ashkar participated in an executive roundtable with Apple on “AI in Manufacturing,” exploring how advanced technologies are reshaping industrial competitiveness. On Day 2, Laurent Depolla joined a session hosted by Agility on “Partnerships for a Sustainable, Intelligent Economy”. On Day 3, Khaled Bin Braik participated in a ministerial roundtable with the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources on “The Future of HR in the Era of AI,” focusing on workforce transformation and public sector readiness.

In addition, PwC launched three co-branded thought leadership reports:

• Anchoring Degrees, Accelerating Skills – Policies Towards a Stackable, Skills-First Ecosystem
• Smart Trade Diplomacy – Transport and Logistics Alliances in a Multipolar World
• Harnessing AI to Build Whole-of-Society Resilience – A Blueprint for Governments of the Future

Through strategic dialogue, ministerial engagement and thought leadership, our 2026 participation underscored our commitment to shaping future-ready governments and resilient societies.
