Held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the three-day summit is under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, under the theme “Reshaping Global Prosperity: Unlocking New Investment Pathways Toward a Sustainable and Inclusive Future.”
Speaking to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on the sidelines of his participation in the Kuwaiti delegation, Consul General of Kuwait in Dubai and the Northern Emirates Khaled Al-Zayani said that Kuwait’s participation reflects its commitment to active engagement in international economic and investment forums, exchanging views and expertise to enhance cooperation and build partnerships that serve mutual interests.
Al-Zayani praised the UAE’s excellent organization of the summit and its broad international participation, emphasizing that Dubai’s hosting of this significant economic event underscores its status as a global hub for business and investment, and as a platform bringing together decision-makers, investors, and business leaders to discuss economic opportunities and challenges, and to envision new horizons for cooperation and investment.
In its 15th edition, the summit addresses global economic challenges and new investment opportunities, ways to strengthen international cooperation and cross-border partnerships, as well as the transformations underway in the global economy in areas such as the digital economy, sustainability, innovation, and future economic sectors.
The summit’s proceedings are centered on three main pillars: “Global Markets,” “Economies of the Future,” and “The Next Generation,” as part of efforts to explore new investment trends, enhance partnerships between governments, the private sector, and investors, and support sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
The summit features a series of conferences, dialogue sessions, roundtables, and workshops, in addition to an international exhibition, investor-opportunity matchmaking meetings, the signing of memoranda of understanding, and a competition for projects and startups.
The AIM Summit annually brings together top government officials, investors, and business leaders to discuss key global economic challenges and explore investment opportunities in emerging markets and future sectors, thereby contributing to the establishment of new economic and investment partnerships.
The summit’s activities will continue until next Wednesday, with broad participation from representatives of governments, investment institutions, the private sector, and international organizations.
