institutions.

He added that Investopia Global Talks creates promising economic opportunities for the

Emirati and European business communities and enhance the country’s attractiveness

consecutive years reaffirms the importance of the Italian business community as a

significant partner in the business and investment sectors in the UAE.

“More than 600 Italian companies operate in the UAE market, and Italy serves as an

important economic gateway for Emirati companies in Europe. Total Emirati investment

flows to Italy amounted to around $300 million from 2018 to 2022, while Italian

investment flows to the UAE amounted to approximately $343 million during the same

period, confirming the continuous investment momentum between the two countries in
all economic activities and sectors.”
