The “Conference of the Future” kicked off today, Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at the Moroccan Parliament headquarters in Rabat, with wide international participation that includes parliamentarians, ministers, and experts from various countries around the world. This global event, organized by the Moroccan Parliament with both chambers, in collaboration with the “Encounters of the Future” Foundation and the Chilean Parliament, marks an unprecedented step as it takes place for the first time on African soil, reaffirming Morocco’s leadership as a hub for dialogue and strategic thinking.
The two-day conference, running from December 17 to 18, will feature in-depth discussions on some of the most pressing global challenges of today and tomorrow. A distinguished group of thinkers, scientists, and decision-makers from Morocco, Chile, Europe, Africa, and Latin America will address crucial topics, including climate change, food security, energy transition, international migration, and the impact of artificial intelligence on the economy and social relations. The conference will also emphasize the promotion of tolerance, equality, and Africa’s pivotal role in shaping the future of global development.
Morocco’s selection as the host for the “Conference of the Future” is no coincidence; it reflects the Kingdom’s status as a center for international cooperation and a bridge for dialogue between the Global North and South. This aligns with Morocco’s continued success in multilateral diplomacy and its key role in fostering South-South cooperation. Hosting this event further cements Morocco’s position as a space for forward-thinking and the exchange of global expertise.
Since its inception in 2011 in Chile, the “Conference of the Future” has gained global recognition thanks to its high-caliber presence and partnerships with government institutions, academia, and renowned research centers. Previous editions have attracted Nobel Prize laureates and distinguished scientists, establishing the conference as a global platform for scientific dialogue and sustainable solutions to shared crises.
In its Moroccan edition, the conference aims to foster collective thinking and present innovative perspectives on contemporary challenges, whether related to the environment, technology, or societal issues. It also serves as an opportunity to enhance cooperation among participating nations and underscores Rabat’s role as a capital for constructive dialogue and meaningful global interaction.
