LONDON: The Future Resilience Forum launched its third edition this week in London, bringing together government, media, academic and enterprise leaders to discuss global security crises and challenges in a “new world order.”
Since Fiona Hill founded the FRF in 2023, the Middle East has witnessed momentous events, including the war in the Gaza Strip, the fall of Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria and US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.
Alongside this, advancements in tourism, AI adoption and energy projects are taking place as Arab Gulf countries strive to achieve their 2030 visions, including Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, international efforts are being made to resolve the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict and usher in a new era for the region.
Hill, who advised former UK Prime Minister Theresa May and served as the chief of staff at 10 Downing Street, founded the FRF to encourage leaders to adopt “new world thinking” about issues that will shape the 21st century. The FRF 2025 edition highlights topics such as space, drone manufacturing, investment opportunities in Africa, and the impact of diplomacy, military matters, and technological changes on geopolitical and geoeconomic dynamics.
