During the second day of its participation, the council took part in the Multilateral Financial Forum, which brought together several figures from Japan, the United States, and the Middle East.

Dr. Mohammed Al-Kuwaiti, Chairman of the UAE Government Cybersecurity Council, confirmed that the council’s active participation in Expo Osaka 2025 comes amid ongoing efforts to communicate with international partners in cyber and digital fields, exchanging expertise and visions in cybersecurity. The expo highlights the UAE’s efforts to protect cyberspace security and enhance its position as a global cybersecurity hub.

The forum focused on exploring investment opportunities and building new bridges of cooperation among various stakeholders, with participation from prominent cybersecurity figures in the panel discussion.

The forum also emphasized multilateral financing with the presence of elite experts, exchanging views on ways to strengthen cross-border partnerships and support secure investments in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Concurrently, the Cybersecurity Council participated in the multilateral cyber financial forum aimed at enhancing international cooperation to confront increasing cyber threats in the financial sector and digital environments.

The forum included two main tracks: the “Cyber Financial Forum” and the “Cyber Port Forum,” where senior policymakers and cybersecurity experts gathered to discuss cybersecurity challenges, exchange lessons learned, and explore joint strategies to enhance global cyber resilience. The forum focused on building cross-border coordination frameworks and dealing with various and multiple scenarios.

This forum was launched for the first time at “Expo Dubai” and has evolved to become a trusted platform for multilateral cooperation amid rising systemic non-financial risks.

The sessions focused on growing challenges facing vital sectors such as energy, transportation, and financial services, emphasizing the importance of developing flexible legislative frameworks and enhancing public-private cooperation to ensure comprehensive protection of national infrastructure, especially amid increasing digital threats targeting sensitive systems.

International experts from Asia and Europe participated in the session, exchanging experiences and best practices in cybersecurity for smart energy and smart cities. They also discussed mechanisms to develop early warning systems based on artificial intelligence and big data analytics, and ways to enhance immediate coordination between countries and regional and international institutions when detecting any breaches or organized attacks.

Participants stressed the necessity of establishing a shared secure digital infrastructure based on transparency and information exchange, contributing to building a global warning system that enhances digital space security and supports prevention and response efforts.
