DUBAI, 27 October (BelTA - Emirates News Agency) - Expo City Dubai has
been named as host of the 2025 Asia Pacific Cities Summit (2025APCS)
& Mayors’ Forum - one of the world’s largest and most diverse
convening of mayors, city and business leaders which will be held in the
Middle East for the first time.
The event, which will take place at the Dubai Exhibition Centre from 27th to 29th October 2025, was the subject of bidding from cities across the Asia Pacific region. Linking the Middle East, Africa and South Asia with the wider Asia Pacific region, the event will attract a global network of those at the very forefront of shaping cities for the future and will focus on creating business and investment opportunities in sustainable growth and urbanisation.
An initiative of Brisbane City Council, delivered by Expo City Dubai and with programme and event advisory from Expo Dubai Group, the 2025APCS will welcome mayors, city leaders, policymakers, business leaders, startups, young professionals, leading academics, and industry professionals from around the world.
Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation and CEO of Expo City Dubai Authority, said, “Expo City Dubai is proud to have been selected from a competitive bid of global cities to host the 2025 Asia Pacific Cities Summit. A unique place to work and live, close to the new Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai Exhibition Centre, we are a hub for city and business leaders interested in collaborating for sustainable growth.
“We draw upon a decade of key insights and lived experience, from the successful World Exhibition that was Expo 2020 Dubai, delivered with 192 nations, to hosting COP28, to our urban development journey that has seen us transform into a city of opportunity and knowledge creation and exchange.”
