Dubai, UAE – January05, 2026 –

In a significant convergence of legacy, heritage, and futuristic technology, after the success of Torus Legacy 2071 Forum, “The Amazon Rainforest Meets The Arabian Desert,” Torus continues its efforts through specialized seminars to create impact in the local communities.

Inaugural Event held in the Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning on November 2, 2025. Hosted by Brazilian visionary Maria Luiza Knoblauch, the founder and chairperson of Torus Legacy.The event was followed by a series of seminars and workshops. Every month, a different Forest and desert of each continent will be invited to discuss Soft Power and practical actions in the culture, business, family offices, governments, and ecosystems that can empower society in positive ways through the Torus Legacy Holding social impact and entrepreneurship programs.

Torus Legacy 2071 Forum welcomed over 200 participants, including 40 in-person at the SZDL center, 168 in the online stream, and 30 on the invited Google Meets. Attendees came from a diverse array of 19 countries, including Brazil, China, Russia, Kenya, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Syria, Japan, Lebanon, USA, Mexico, Portugal, Egypt, India, Germany, Canada, and Korea. The forum aligned its sessions with the UAE Vision 2071, focusing on creating a knowledge-based society and cohesive families. The event served as a launchpad for Family Office 4.0, a modern governance model where success is measured not only by ledgers but also by intergenerational harmony, planetary impact, and the preservation of values through advanced technology. The attendees represented key sectors such as Family Offices, Government,Entrepreneurs, NGOs, including indigenous tribes (like Karajás and Tukanos),and education.

Ms. Knoblauch, Founder of Torus Legacy Holding and architect of Legacy and the Invisible Economy of Love, highlighted the profound connection between the UAE’s founding father and Torus Legacy’s mission.

“Sheikh Zayed’s legacy is one of the most important life inspirations;his vision of unity, sustainability, and respect for every soul planted the seed that grew into Torus Legacy 2071,” said Maria Luiza Knoblauch.

And she said: “The Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre is not merely a venue; it is sacred ground where past wisdom ignites and empowers future possibilities. Our entire journey is a unique form of global diplomacy, wielding soft power to align the agendas of family offices and governments. My strategic focus transcends traditional investment models, building sustainable global legacies through an ‘Invisible Economy of Love’, which represents an ethical and sustainable economy of activities that create impact on the community, characterized by Philanthropy, and a broader concept of unpaid, compassionate labor, like caregiving, that underpins society but isn’t in GDP.

By leveraging cultural diplomacy and human potential, we turn capital into a force for global good, proving that soft power can be the most potent driver of long-term value.”

Ms. Knoblauch added, “December is the month of Europe, and we are so excited to continue what we started in November. In November of 2026, we will have our next worldwide Torus Legacy 2071 Forum & Majlis to see the results and growth during the year with small symposiums and efforts.”

And she said: “We will continue to grow, focusing on Brazilian projects worldwide, with companies such as Brasil Potência (Brazilian opportunities hub), Amazon Base Design (Artisanal Amazonian products), and others in AI education, tokenization, carbon compensation, and more.”

Following the main event, Torus Legacy continued its impact with a focused event on education, coaching, and women’s stories from Brazil and Portugal. This event featured successful women entrepreneurs who launched their books in Dubai and will attend the next Torus Legacy 2071 Forum to showcase their impact and growth. Furthermore, Torus Legacy attended the Future Forum Dubai and the Knowledge Forum, as well as a private Family Office event at the Abu Dhabi Majlis, to validate its work and promote the monthly online forum. The Torus Legacy 2071 Majlis is set to return as a monthly hybrid forum brainstorm gathering in Dubai, Al Ain, and Abu Dhabi, continuously guiding leaders and family offices to create impactful legacies with multigenerational strategies by fusing ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge AI that generates positive social impact. December will be the month of Europe and will be focused on entrepreneurs and immersive experiences. In November 2026, the next worldwide Torus Legacy 2071 Forum & Majlis will be held to see the results and growth during the year.
