Organised by the Dubai Sports Council, the summit aims to be a global platform bringing together athletes, coaches, investors, policymakers, and sports industry professionals to discuss the evolving landscape of global sports.
Key focus areas of the summit will include the economic viability of international sporting events, the role of emerging technologies, and how sports can be a tool for social impact and talent development.
