SME to Host Major Sustainability Conference in Dubai

For those eagle-eyed who see a lack of the Middle Eastern leaders in the list above, this is because HH Sheikh Mohammed, Ruler of Dubai; HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Ruler of Abu Dhabi; and Crown Prince HRH Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia each have their own feature taking pride of place in the edition after their consistent efforts with regard to sustainability.

SME CEO Sam Khan said: “We are delighted to bring SME to the region with a huge project to kick things off.

“The 50 leaders each offer a powerful, unique insight into sustainability and aid us in our mission of becoming the platform within which the key conversations in sustainability can be fostered.

“Yet this is just the beginning for SME, we also have the huge 1-Billion Views Campaign in the works which is all about raising awareness around sustainability, and we have a massive conference and awards ceremony down the line too.

“In a word, keep your eyes peeled!”

“We still have a few limited spaces, do contact us if you’re interested as slots are going fast!”
