The organising partners for the event include Abraaj Capital, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Gulf News, HP, National Bank of Dubai, Qatar Airways and Shell. Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) and the Alshaya Group will jointly sponsor the high powered forum.
The UAE's second telecommunications provider, du, has been cited as the official technology provider for the three day meet.
Speaking on the announcement, Yasser Hareb, Coordinator General, ASF, said: "The ASF organising partners are a group of high-profile organisations who align themselves with the values and objectives of the Arab Strategy Forum.
"Leaders within their own sectors, they are globally renowned for their calibre, efficiency and commitment to contribute to the region's growth. Our partners and sponsors reflect the forum's goal of identifying and harnessing opportunities for change in the rapidly evolving global community."
The ASF partners will work closely with the event's organising committee to develop specific programme tracks, projects, knowledge products and initiatives. In addition, the partners' top executives will actively participate throughout the event as keynote speakers in the panel discussions.
The Arab Strategy Forum, which is being held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, was conceived as a platform to highlight and gain strategic insight in opportunities for change, and explore solutions for challenging issues confronting the region.
As the leading Arab platform for political, business and intellectual leaders, ASF is set to become the centre of Arab strategic thinking and the main launching pad for regional programmes and initiatives.
