The platform primarily aimed to inspire and motivate through interactive experiences.

Other innovations included submissions from Canada, Guatemala, China, USA, Kenya, UK, Finland, Spain, Australia, India, France, Rwanda, and Türkiye.

Sheikh Hamdan was accompanied by Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, and Vice-Chair of the World Government Summit, and Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary-General of the Executive Council of Dubai; and Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police.
