For the first time, SIF 2025 will run under a shared agenda with the 29th edition of the World Investment Conference (WIC), marking WIC’s debut in Sharjah. SIF 2025 will open with a high-level session, “Global leaders’ insights: Investing in an age of global transition”, featuring global leaders and economic figures examining geopolitical shifts and digital transformation's impact on investment flows. Another key session, “Green is the new gold: Competitive advantage through sustainable investment”, showcases how applying ESG (environmental, social, and governance) standards attracts high-impact investments. The agenda will also address a wide spectrum of themes, including free economic zones, tourism, human capital, SMEs, and digital infrastructure. Together, these discussions reinforce the forum’s commitment to advancing a comprehensive agenda for sustainable and inclusive investment.
