Annual Meeting of Global Future Leaders 2026

Earlier this month, as a member of the Young Global Leaders (YGL) Class of 2026, I had the opportunity to travel to Dubai to attend the Annual Meeting of Global Future Leaders 2026, organized by the World Economic Forum in cooperation with the UAE Government. The said meeting brought together emerging leaders from diverse countries and industries, including business, government, and civil society, to exchange perspectives, build collaborations, and explore ways to address the current challenges our world is facing. Meeting friends from different backgrounds, engaging in conversations, listening to their perspectives, and sharing ideas on the issues that each of us hope to drive forward, have broadened my view about the world's latest progress made. Being here has also reinforced my belief that diversity is essential in moving our world forward. Meaningful changes do not always come from like-minded group of people, but rather from those with different views. Something new can be created when bringing unique strengths to the table, learning from different experiences, and working together. It was a pleasure meeting and exchanging ideas with everyone here. Thank you all for such a valuable and inspiring experience. #WEF #AMGFL26 #YGL26 #ToppJirayut
