GITEX Impact Council Members meet, deliberate, and work together through the year to drive the agenda on the specific issue by advising on research on a White Paper that is launched at GITEX Impact. The White Paper is taken forward through GITEX Impact platforms, and communities, in alignment with the UAE's ongoing initiatives to ensure impact and influence.
Members of the GITEX Impact Councils are globally acclaimed thought leaders from academia, government, business, and civil society. This by-invitation-only Council membership is for a one-year term, during which members collaborate to disseminate transformative solutions with global impact.
