A number of key topics discussed during the dynamic panel discussion and interactive Q&amp;A session, such as how digitalisation can affect the workplace, the importance of educating the youth in emotional and academic intelligence, global cybersecurity policies and the importance of including women in low income societies.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speakers also shed light on the important role that the United Arab Emirates is playing in enabling and supporting women\u2019s participation and advancement and the environment it has created to foster a culture of inclusivity across the nation.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Khalfan Belhoul, <\/strong>CEO, Dubai Future Foundation, UAE, said: \u201cWe are so fortunate in this region to be empowered by the UAE leaders, which is why this is a recipe of success for the nation. Trust in our leadership and trust in our youth and empowerment is what has led the United Arab Emirates to where it is now \u2013 fully empowered.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing the change she has seen in the region, <strong>Rana Nawas<\/strong>, Corporate Speaker, Strategic Advisor and \u2018When Women Win\u2019 Podcast Host, said: \u201cI have seen immense change. This awakening has been happening in the corporate world and in government at the same time. The MENA region is a very diverse region and the UAE is very different to what is going on elsewhere. Women were already in government 15 years ago but they weren\u2019t making it to the top. There has been a big shift \u2013 now there are not only 50-60% of women in government, but they are government ministers and women running government and semi-government organisations. What we have seen and what is dependent on the future of work \u2013 is that the government sets the tone. In MENA, we have cultural barriers that prevent women getting into the workplace, so if I\u2019m looking ahead and thinking what needs to change, we can learn from the success of the UAE, where the tone was set at the top and cultural change was pushed through by government\u201d.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In discussing technological advances, such as the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, cybersecurity and its effect on ethics and governance, an interactive discussion highlighted the importance of embracing new technologies, having an openness and dialogue between countries &#8211; at multi-lateral and multi-government levels &#8211; to adopt global data policies and foster collaboration.&nbsp; There was also an emphasis on implementing technology and data policies that benefit all of humanity and ensuring inclusivity between men and women, related to the gender bias of data inputting and coding.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moderator, <strong>Henry Bonsu<\/strong>, Broadcaster and International Conference Host took questions from the audience. One of the key questions highlighted how women with low salaries can sustain their source of income with new technologies. The panel addressed this through highlighting the different types of jobs that will be available, particularly in the care economy, and the importance of adaptation and shifting the mindset to these new skills that require digital development, a human element and creativity.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plenary concluded with a discussion about how society should implement emotional intelligence when working with and coding AI and introducing a human element, which is not only a human\u2019s competitive advantage but also a women\u2019s competitive advantage. The dialogue concluded with the importance of upskilling the youth and due to the evolution of jobs in the next 20 years and beyond, emotional intelligence should be given the same value as academic intelligence.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GWFD 2020 is taking place at the Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai, UAE, under the patronage of <strong>His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/strong>, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and Ruler of Dubai, and will conclude on 17 February.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020 is organised by Dubai Women Establishment, which is led by <strong>Her Highness Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/strong>, President of the UAE Gender Balance Council and wife of HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs.<br>Building on its theme, <strong><em>\u2018The Power of Influence\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020 will highlight how effective policies and partnerships in four key areas \u2013 <strong>Government<\/strong>, <strong>Economy, Society, and the Future<\/strong> \u2013 can further women\u2019s positive impact for a better future.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khalfan Belhoul, CEO, Dubai Future Foundation, UAE and Rana Nawas, Corporate Speaker, Strategic Advisor and \u2018When Women Win\u2019 Podcast Host discuss ideas and ways of operating during the 4th Industrial Revolution in the last plenary panel discussion of the first day held at Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020 Dubai, UAE, 16 February 2020: Global Women\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":3787,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media-centre","category-media-centre-mobile"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
