Held under the patronage of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), the summit brought together policymakers, regulators, and tech leaders from across South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa to address the evolving digital landscape.

He highlighted advancements in 5G, AI, and cloud infrastructure as key enablers reshaping sectors from healthcare to finance. Yet, he cautioned that global volatility, including protectionist trade policies, poses serious risks to supply chains and emerging market growth. 'Disruption also presents opportunity,' Sheikh Nahyan said, urging the region to strengthen innovation ecosystems, invest in future skills, and promote digital cooperation. He identified artificial intelligence as the defining force of the era—transformative yet fraught with ethical, security, and workforce challenges. Reflecting on the summit's theme—'Intelligent & Sustainable Transformation of Digital Economies'—he stressed that digital success hinges on responsible application and social impact.
