The main purpose of these competitions is to amplify the core message of the Dubai World Expo, “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.” So the focus will be on creating a sustainable world for the future with shared ideas and implementable solutions that would be industry-ready tomorrow. And since the Dubai World Expo is pivoted on sustainability, empowerment, a more equitable and a greener world, these challenges will get the conversation going and attract the right funding for such projects. They are as much about a futuristic template for the survival of the planet --- be it reducing the carbon footprint through energy efficiencies, product design, optimizing the use of resources and re-conceptualizing processes --- as they are about inclusivity and embracing women and children. The idea is to re-shape governance and policy and make them accessible to all stakeholders.
