Dubai forum on November 25 to address AI adoption and trade risk
Event expected to draw 750 delegates from banking, insurance, logistics and industry across five programme streams.

A business forum in Dubai on November 25 will bring together senior executives from banking, trade, insurance, logistics and industry to discuss artificial intelligence adoption, risk management and supply chain resilience. The Malakut Business Forum is expected to attract more than 750 delegates from over 300 companies, with C-suite executives and directors making up 60 percent of attendees, according to organisers. The one-day event is scheduled to take place in Dubai.
Programme structure and attendance#
Organisers have structured the event around five programme streams covering finance, risk, artificial intelligence, logistics and technology. The agenda addresses business resilience, geopolitical challenges, innovation and the future of global trade. Alex Dolgopolov, CEO of Malakut Business Forum 2026, said the event was created to bring decision-makers into the same room so conversations turn into opportunities. He said the 2026 edition is hosted in Dubai, describing it as a global crossroads of trade.
Finance and risk sessions#
The finance stream will address methods for protecting corporate liquidity when uncertainty rises and approaches to making high-risk projects bankable. Risk management sessions will cover the procurement of political violence and war-risk insurance during active conflicts, and the options available to businesses when insurance markets decline to provide coverage. The programme addresses questions facing organisations managing uncertainty while sustaining operations across borders.
AI and logistics content#
Sessions on artificial intelligence will examine technologies that have delivered measurable cost savings, the shift from AI copilots to autonomous agents, and the functions that executives have not yet chosen to automate. The logistics stream will address rerouting strategies during conflicts and the financial cost of building resilience into supply chains. Technology sessions will cover scaling operations across fragmented markets and modernising legacy systems without disrupting current operations. The forum provides a platform for leaders to exchange ideas on challenges affecting global trade and business operations.
