The 2008 World Summit of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WSIE) -- the most inspiring gathering of its kind in Dubai -- concluded this afternoon, calling for improving the role of innovation as a catalyst for peace and development to improve the quality of lives for billions of people worldwide.
The three-day summit, organized under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, brought together over 800 delegates from all walks of life.
A specially-designated innovation team, the Innovivors -- a convergence of innovative minds joining hands to create ingenious solutions to the pressing issues facing emerging societies -- made a series of recommendations, portraying an inspiring look at how the future will unfold. The recommendations, which reflected the experiences, surprises, brilliance, splendor and foresight of the future leaders, formed the roadmap for utilizing innovation for peace around the globe.
The recommendations include Branding Peace to influence the hearts; the Innovation Passport for Youth to allow outstanding young entrepreneurs and innovators to travel freely; Innovation for Peace Academy to envision, design and integrate an educational curriculum to build innovation capacity; unveiling a Innovation Community Portal to foster co-existence and cultural dialogue among youth worldwide focusing on various spheres; and use the power of Cognitive and Imagination tools to help youth express their intentions and innovative aspirations. Also envisaged is a WSIE-promoted Competition for Peace where a talk with a global organization would be initiated to promote peace around the globe.
