GLOBAL RISKS ALLIANCE 🇦🇪

UAE NEXUS

Name: United Arab Emirates Risks Forum 2025
Start: 2025-08-22
End: 2025-08-31
Location: Geneva

MENA region’s sovereign federated foresight infrastructure for governing risk at planetary scale. Anchored in DRR, DRF, and DRI, we transform zero-trust simulation into policy, capital, and institutional action. From exponential technologies and climate shocks to global risks and systemic fragility, UAE NEXUS operationalizes verifiable foresight to de-risk innovation, governance, and investment across Earth systems domains: Water, Energy, Food, Health, Biodiversity, and Climate. As host of the Global Risks Forum (GRF) and regional steward of GRA and NE, the UAE NEXUS now leads the shift from forecasting to execution

From risk to resilience; from forecast to force;

Predict. Prepare. Prosper.

MISSION/VISION

At a moment when the stability of nations hinges on their capacity to govern complexity, forecast disruption, and orchestrate risk across domains and borders, UAE NEXUS is activating a new class of infrastructure: one not built to consolidate authority, but to federate sovereign resilience. Through the launch of the Nexus Ecosystem (NE)—the world’s first open-source, clause-based protocol stack for systemic risk governance—we are establishing a multilateral backbone for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Disaster Risk Finance (DRF), and Disaster Risk Intelligence (DRI).

Our mission is not merely to manage risk—but to transform it into programmable foresight infrastructure. UAE NEXUS empowers nations across the MENA region and beyond to build their own sovereign DRR/DRF/DRI platforms atop a shared, verifiable foundation—while leveraging the UAE’s global leadership in strategic foresight, science and technology innovation (STI). By enabling interoperable, clause-governed resilience systems, UAE NEXUS redefines how countries anticipate, simulate, and finance the risks of the 21st century—together.

Since its founding in 1971, the United Arab Emirates has stood as a powerful example of regional unity, strategic foresight, and institutional innovation. Today, that legacy continues through UAE NEXUS—a sovereign-scale platform built not only to serve the UAE, but to enable nations across MENA and beyond to co-develop resilient, simulation-native risk infrastructures. UAE NEXUS does not centralize authority—it federates risk governance by offering clause-based digital protocols, simulation-aligned capital models, and open frameworks for national foresight systems. It transforms UAE’s proven capacity in diplomacy, finance, and innovation into a stewardship model for regional and global cooperation. By aligning technology, law, and capital with real-time disaster risk intelligence, UAE NEXUS offers all stakeholders—from ministries and research institutions to sovereign wealth funds and civic actors—a trusted architecture to co-develop resilient futures across DRR, DRF, and DRI domains. This is not just a program—it is an open invitation to participate in a new era of multilateral governance: where simulation becomes sovereignty, foresight becomes shared infrastructure, and risk becomes the engine of collaboration
