Annual Investment Meeting
The Annual Investment Meeting, now in its 5th year, is an initiative by the UAE Ministry of Economy. Being the world’s first emerging markets FDI-focused event, AIM combines an exhibition with intellectual features aimed at enriching institutional, corporate, and individual investors with a comprehensive set of guidelines for future investments in high-growth regions. AIM serves as a productive and fruitful terrain for new business ventures, strategic alliances, and partnerships and has been positioned as the new staple for foreign trade and FDI.
Featuring 500 exhibitors from 140 countries, AIM 2015 is a capital sourcing platform that creates solid bonds and builds partnerships between sustainable business ventures and serious investors. It also includes country pavilions with representatives from foreign investment offices and trade agencies, helping them enhance their country’s profile by showcasing private and public sector investment opportunities. AIM 2015 Workshops will feature key presentations addressed by global FDI experts, offering a comprehensive overview of investment related topics.
AIM, attended by high-profile individuals and C-level executives from the regional and international investment and trade communities, works as a tribune for high-level officials, world-renowned industrialists, investment experts and leading financial powerhouses to discuss economic governance, strategic expansion and sustainability.
This event is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai. The 2015 congress will focus on Sustainable Development Through FDI-Induced Innovation and Technology Transfer, and the UAE Space Agency will be recognised as a reflection of this as the agency plans to launch the country’s first exploratory probe to Mars.
The UAE was ranked first among Middle East countries in overall performance in 2014 according to the Global Innovation Index, published by Cornell University, the European Institute for Business Administration INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organisation.
