The forum, which will be held from June 21 to 23, will host a global elite of more than 2,000 CEOs, inspirational personalities, and decision makers in the fields of finance, economy, investment, technology, energy, education, sports and climate.

Participants will work to identify opportunities, provide solutions, and rethink the global economic landscape from the perspective of the Middle East.

A report by the official news agency (QNA) said that the forum's launch in Doha highlights Qatar's strategic location and its ability to link Asia, Africa and beyond, which in turn will also represent a focus for dynamic discussions among the participants on the importance of consolidating and deepening means of cooperation and communication as a means to enhance economic opportunities. .
