The Middle East Institute (MEI), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and its Regional Bureau of Arab States (RBAS), presents the second annual MEI Futures Forum. The Futures Forum will convene thought leaders and change makers from around the world to push the envelope of innovation and inspiration on imagining future solutions to the most pressing problems of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and paths to realizing the region’s greatest potential opportunities.

The first panel will discuss “Megatrends and Their Implications for the Arab Region”

The second panel will focus on “Seeding Future Stability – Imagining Startup Ecosystems in MENA Region Peacebuilding”

The third panel will explore “Next Urban Visions – Pathways Toward Sustainable Future MENA Cities”

The fourth panel will be about “Cities Alive – Designing Cities That Work for Women”
