This Majlis Mohamed bin Zayed session, attended by His Highness Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, explores how a moonshot approach can help drive inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The speaker outlines the power of mission-led strategies inspired by landmark initiatives such as the Apollo programme, emphasising the role of governments in setting bold, public-purpose goals across areas including climate action and pandemic preparedness. Drawing on examples of long-term spill-over benefits, the session illustrates how this approach can align public investment, private-sector engagement, and societal outcomes to support innovation and cross-sector collaboration.
