Academic delegates take the position to bridge a dialogue between learning institutions and other urban and city development stakeholders such as government bodies, investors, policy makers, and professionals. Institutional intellectual capital is identified by the city leaders as one of, if not the most, important assets that their cities possess. In the knowledge economy, it is the people in a city – their skills, capabilities and knowledge – that can make a critical difference to a city’s ability to compete successfully for investment.

Date:  8th  & 9th of November 2016 at the Palazzo Versace Dubai.
