What Was World With Purpose UAE 2023 About?

GHAYA’s World with Purpose UAE 2023 was an exclusive and invitation-only event tailored for industry leaders, CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, policy makers, academics, NGOs and youth leaders committed to enabling global prosperity.

Participants immersed themselves in an intricately crafted experience where they not only gained valuable insights but also embarked on a collective journey of growth. They engaged in collaborative learning, forged purposeful connections, and took part in deliberate planning sessions that shaped the trajectory of conscious business for the future.

To be part of this transformative gathering, visionary Purposeful Leaders were nominated, by themselves or by others, through our nomination form. Their participation was not just an attendance, but a pivotal contribution to enabling global prosperity, at an annual event where purpose-driven leaders converge to inspire, innovate, and elevate the impact of business on the world.

The World with Purpose experience was created with deep intention, so participants walked away with meaningful connections that last far beyond the two-day event, and tactical takeaways to help leaders advance their businesses with purpose embedded at the core.

Who Spoke?

WORLD WITH PURPOSE is a global and inclusive summit which fosters great minds and anonymous heroes from around the world who from PURPOSE have created unimaginable impact for both people and planet. GHAYA attracted several prominent speakers and opinion leaders, who spoke to five impact areas, namely world economy, interior condition of leaders, enterprise transformation, impact financing and sustainability. Our highest goal is to bring speakers who can inspire business leaders to find purpose in everything they do and drive change at personal, scale and systemic level.

What Was Discussed At World With Purpose?

Given the escalating rate of disruption and the growth of the population, it was imperative to engage in profound and comprehensive dialogues to guarantee a sustainable existence for everyone. The obstacles we face are intricate and necessitate a novel strategy. Repetition of the same actions while expecting different outcomes is unfeasible. This is why GHAYA chose to delve into the internal journey of leaders and their evolutionary intelligence within a setting of world economy, business transformation, and purposeful leadership. We believed this exploration presented a genuine prospect for achieving distinct outcomes and generating meaningful change at the core of the summit. The approach was deeply aligned with the SDGs 2030, combined with the IDGs, as a framework for meaningful transformation and impact.

GHAYA is forging ahead, driven by urgency, yet excited by the possibility of a world where no one gets left behind.
