Sharjah gains traction as a global platform for economic dialogue

Deepening the UAE's role in shaping regional and global investment trends, Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah) has announced that the upcoming 8th annual Sharjah Investment Forum (SIF 2025) will be held under the theme 'Transforming Our World: Investing for a Resilient and Sustainable Future', from October 22 to 23, at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre.

For the first time in the forum's history, it will be held under a shared agenda and alongside the World Investment Conference (WIC), whose 29th edition is marking its debut in Sharjah. This strategic collaboration of the two leading industry events reinforces the emirate's growing appeal as a trusted platform for global economic dialogue.

Organised in partnership with the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA) and the UAE Ministry of Investment, the joint event will serve as a global platform for economic leaders, investors, and decision-makers to explore practical responses to today's economic challenges, while advancing sustainable investment, green finance, and food security as key drivers of resilience and cross-border growth.

Reflecting on this, Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, UAE Minister of Investment, said: "The UAE once again reaffirms its commitment to leading global investment trends and building strategic partnerships that foster cross-border collaboration. The organisation of the Sharjah Investment Forum 2025, alongside the World Investment Conference, reflects the country's dedication to creating a flexible and attractive investment environment that supports innovation, drives sustainable growth, and opens new opportunities for promising sectors and international investors. The Ministry of Investment takes pride in supporting these efforts and contributing to the development of an open, globally connected investment ecosystem."
