Dubai Foresight Awards will include three different categories:

1. Foresight change makers

For thought leaders and innovators who have developed foresight theories, tools, and methodologies.

2. Foresight for people

For individuals, teams, or organizations that have leveraged foresight to achieve tangible impacts on communities.

3. Foresight for the planet

For those who have used foresight to make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability.

Winners of the inaugural edition will be honored at a special ceremony during the next Dubai Future Forum, which is set to take place on November 18-19, 2025 at the Museum of the Future.
