Testimonials

"Dubai has invested significantly in developing a world-class city that promotes business and commerce across the region. We, at Dubai Exports, have embarked on the mission of taking this expertise from Dubai to other cities aiming to benefit from the city’s experience and learnings. Future Cities Conference provides an ideal starting point for us to promote the city’s capabilities and identify opportunities."

Moin Anwar, Director Exporter Services, Dubai Exports, Government of Dubai

"I thank you for inviting me to speak at the Future Cities Conference at Cityscape Global 2011. The panelists, all dynamic leaders, presented a wealth of insight and knowledge. The discussions helped recognize emerging opportunities and developments that impact the regional and global cluster developments. It also offered us an excellent platform to share our learning about the knowledge-cluster model developed by TECOM Investments. I congratulate the team for organizing a well-planned and highly successful event."

Ismail Al Naqi, Managing Director, TECOM Business Parks - Operations

"The Future Cities Conference was a valuable opportunity to learn about the trends and developments in the sector and to share best practice as well as an important networking event."

Dr Ashraf Mahate, Head of Export Market Intelligence, Dubai Exports – an agency of the Department of Economic Development, Government of Dubai; Vice Chair of the Economic Policy Committee with the Dubai Economic Department, UAE

"The conference attracted professionals from truly across the spectrum of activities since the Future Cities conference involved every aspect of the city’s well being, growth and development. I thought the audience very well appreciated the presentations and discussions with some ‘take away points’ on the various facets of such activities which make the city what it is. A very lively and energetic conference!"

P. Balasubramanian, Manager Cargo Global Operations Services, Emirates SkyCargo

"Attending the Future Cities Conference in 2011 and visiting the city of Dubai gave me a great opportunity to introduce what steps the city of Reykjavík has taken towards increased sustainability. Also, it was very useful for me to familiarize myself with the views and approaches of the other participants, so I brought home with me a lot of new wisdom which will benefit Reykjavík in its mission to become an even greener city."

Karl Sigurdsson, Chairman of the City of Reykjavík's Environment and Transport Council, Iceland

"Cityscape's Future Cities and World Architecture Congress conferences were excellent. They were well organised, structured and brought a number of global decision makers together to share their experiences and investment opportunities. I enjoyed the networking breaks and I will definitely participate again."

Waheed Nazir, Director of Planning and Regeneration, Birmingham City Council
