Sharjah is preparing to host the eighth edition of the “Sharjah Investment Forum 2025,” which promises to be exceptional in its inclusivity, variety of participants, and the presence of numerous international organizations, aligned with the “Global Investment Conference” agenda.
The forum will attract delegations from 142 countries along with over 30 international organizations and institutions to discuss strategies for directing investments towards key priorities for inclusive and sustainable development, as global reports indicate a financing gap exceeding $4.2 trillion annually to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
High-level representatives from prominent countries such as the United States, China, India, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt will participate in the forum, reflecting a broad and balanced representation across various continents. This enhances Sharjah’s status as a central hub for global economic dialogue.
Scheduled for October 22-23 at the Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre, this edition is organized in collaboration with the Sharjah Foreign Direct Investment Office, the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA), and the UAE Ministry of Investment. It aims to provide a unified global platform for key decision-makers and influential entities shaping international investment trends, alongside promotion agencies and research centers.
Marwan Al Ajal, the general coordinator of the “Sharjah Investment Forum,” emphasized that the upcoming edition will have an unprecedented global character in terms of participant nature and level, as well as in addressing agenda items that form the core of international discussions on the future of investment and development.
He stated, “We continuously strive to ensure that the forum serves as a platform for aligning visions among global markets and business communities. We in Sharjah believe that constructive international dialogue is essential for shaping sustainable and equitable opportunities in a rapidly changing world.”
