His Highness Sheikh Abdulhakim Al Maktoum joined delegates from the 103 nationalities for the cutting, which organizers described as a world-record moment for the number of countries represented on stage at once. No formal verification of that claim was cited at the event, but the moment itself was clearly built to anchor the identity of the new venture: one launch, drawn from across the world, under a single banner. That banner is One Business Season, the platform OBS Global says it is building to connect business leaders, investors and entrepreneurs across borders. The Dubai event doubled as the formal unveiling of that vision, with speeches from organizers framing the season ahead as a series of connections rather than a single gathering. The ceremony rounded out with a cake cutting, a branded horse presentation and a hosted programme that carried the evening through to an awards segment recognizing people organizers credited with bringing the launch together. A dedicated media wall hosted interviews and talks throughout, while live entertainment ran alongside the formal proceedings. OBS Global has billed the Dubai ceremony as the opening of a season rather than a one-off event, with further gatherings expected to build on the international network the launch was designed to showcase. --- Originally published by Pacific Post.
