Dr John Bruni, Founder and CEO of SAGE International Australia, participated in the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai, courtesy of Trends Group. He brought an Australian strategic perspective to one of the world’s leading forums on governance, innovation, and future policy challenges.

The World Governments Summit convenes heads of government, ministers, senior policymakers, industry leaders, academics and strategic thinkers from across the globe to discuss the major forces shaping the international environment.

As part of the Summit, Dr Bruni contributed to discussions on the role of Think Tanks in Supporting Government Policymaking in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.

The event provided an opportunity to engage with policymakers and experts from across the Middle East, Europe, Asia and North America, while gaining valuable insights into emerging trends likely to influence government decision-making over the coming decade.

Participation in the World Governments Summit reflects SAGE International Australia’s ongoing commitment to contributing to international strategic dialogue and helping decision-makers better understand the risks, opportunities, and uncertainties shaping the global environment.

SAGE International Australia extends its appreciation to the Trends Group for its generous support and hospitality, and for its commitment to fostering international dialogue on the strategic challenges shaping our shared future.
