Disruptive innovation refers to the use of emerging technologies to deliver new or existing services in radically different ways. This is in contrast to incremental innovation, which focuses on making good services better for existing customers. Disruptive innovation aims to create new operating and business models that replace traditional services and provide amplified value for end-users and customers.

In addition to valuable networking opportunities, the show will feature workshops, an exhibition of technological solutions, an innovation lab, an international conference, a tour of the UAE’s state-of-the-art sustainable hubs, a gala dinner and awards ceremony. The FCS awards will recognize pioneering cities that promote sustainable development which aims to transform lives through extraordinary innovation.

The Dubai 10x initiative, by which Dubai aims to be ten years ahead of other world cities, and which encapsulates its commitment to out-of-the-box thinking, will also be highlighted at the event.
