Sharjah Investment Forum takes off, set to draw over 10,000 participants

The two-day international forum, held for the first time in conjunction with the WAIPA World Investment Conference (WIC), marks a major milestone for Sharjah in shaping the global discussion around sustainable investment and economic development. Under the theme “Transforming Our World: Investing for a Resilient and Sustainable Future,” the gathering is set to convene more than 10,000 participants from 142 countries, and features 130 speakers across more than 160 sessions and 120 bilateral meetings.

Following the national anthem in the opening ceremony, Sheikha Bodour Bint Sultan Al Qasimi, delivered a keynote speech. “For ten years, this forum has reflected Sharjah's philosophy rooted not in growth for its own sake but in growth that empowers society, strengthens institutions, and sustains future generations. History shows us that when governments invest in their own people, institutions, infrastructure, and foreign capital follows. In Sharjah, we took that principle seriously. Instead of relying on incentives, we built a robust ecosystem, strengthened institutions, improved infrastructure, and ensured regulatory predictability and agility.”

“Sharjah’s model is part of a larger national vision of the United Arab Emirates, a nation that offers a dynamic developmental and economic model defined by clarity of law, cultural vitality, secure infrastructure, and visionary leadership,” Sheikha Bodour added.
