At a time of rapid change in the Arab world, it is essential to enter into a new dialogue with society and to strengthen cooperation and responsible leadership.

The social and economic development thrives on a lively pluralism that enables leaders from different backgrounds and professional fields to work towards the common good. Responsible change and sustainability are based on a multi-level dialogue and collaboration to deal with common interests.

Therefore, the BMW Foundation regularly brings together leaders from the Arab world and Europe to facilitate an exchange of experiences and know-how, inspiration and cooperation and thus shape the transition towards increased mutual understanding as well as democracy and sustainability.
