Capital and Innovation in a Changing World


Third in a three-part Davos series on shaping a more inclusive, sustainable global economy.
Hosted at the Invest Qatar Pavilion in Davos during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, this three-session programme will explore how innovation, regulation and resilience intersect to shape the global economy of the future.
Global leaders will convene to examine how countries and companies can cooperate in a contested world, unlock new sources of growth, deploy innovation at scale and responsibly, invest in people and build prosperity.
This Financial Times event, hosted in partnership with Invest Qatar, session three examines how investors and financial centres are navigating technological disruption, macro-economic uncertainty and rising capital demands. In a fireside discussion, Yousuf Mohamed Al-Jaida outlines how policy, supervision and market development can support responsible financial innovation and attract global investment into AI, digital infrastructure and transition technologies. The panel will then assess how investors are sourcing and evaluating high-impact tech opportunities across regions, structuring capital to scale innovation responsibly, and managing geopolitical, inflationary and fiscal pressures while pursuing long-term productivity and sustainable growth.
