Annual Gathering 2019
The World Government Summit organization aims to shape the future generation of governments. This core mission stems from the need for governments to evolve, as mandated by the technological advances of the last few decades. The Summit brings the public and private sectors together to collaborate with world-renowned experts in order to help create a positive impact for citizens worldwide.
In 2019 edition, the agenda was shaped around thematic tracks and themes such as Post Conflict Governance, The Future of Trade, Happiness and Wellbeing, The Interplay of Politics and Society, Design to Transform Government, What is the New in News, and The World’s next Resources.
