Dubai To Host The 15th AIM Congress In April 2026 Focusing On Sustainable Investment Strategies

The Organising Committee of AIM Congress has announced its 15th edition, scheduled for 13th to 15th April, 2026, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. This global investment platform will operate under the theme "Reshaping Global Prosperity: Unlocking New Investment Pathways Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive Future." The event aims to address economic transformations and explore opportunities for strengthening partnerships and developing innovative solutions.

Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Foreign Trade and President of AIM Congress, emphasised the need for nations to develop long-term strategies focused on resilience, sustainability, and diversification amid global changes. He stated, "Amid the major global transformations – geopolitical, economic, and technological – it is imperative for nations to build long-term strategies based on resilience, sustainability and diversification."

The UAE is committed to building an economy that not only adapts to change but anticipates it. Dr. Al Zeyoudi highlighted the country's achievements in 2024, including strong export performance and rising global indices as a trusted trade hub. He remarked that these accomplishments validate their approach towards future-focused industries and partnerships with emerging global growth centres.

This year's Congress will concentrate on three main pillars: Global Markets, Future Economies, and NexGen. These elements are crucial for establishing a robust future economy. The event will bring together decision-makers, business leaders, and innovators to create actionable solutions that support future economies and enhance readiness for global challenges.

Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, noted the pivotal moment in the global investment landscape. He stated that this period requires economic communities to adopt new approaches that foster innovation and comprehensive sustainability. "The global investment landscape stands at a defining crossroads," he said.

Al Mansoori stressed the importance of strengthening international dialogue and aligning public-private sector efforts to reshape the global economy. Through collaboration with AIM Congress, they aim to spark constructive discussions and expand economic cooperation worldwide in support of UAE's development goals.

Expanding Global Cooperation

Dawood Al Shezawi, President of AIM Global Foundation, highlighted the success of the previous AIM Congress edition with over 15,800 attendees from 181 countries. This turnout reflects growing international confidence in the summit as a reliable platform for guiding investments globally.
