innovation within host countries. Similarly, global trade serves as an essential driver for economic
growth by promoting innovation and creating worldwide opportunities beyond just exchanging
goods across borders.

The Congress will feature a dynamic mix of exhibitions, conferences, interactive sessions, and
workshops. These activities aim to engage exhibitors and attendees in discussions on how FDI and
global trade contribute to economic growth. The event will focus on eight key areas: FDI, Global
Trade, Startups and Unicorns, Future Cities, Future Finance, Global Manufacturing, the Digital
Economy, and Entrepreneurship.

The positive connection between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives and FDI
inflows is strengthened by open trade policies. ESG strategies play a crucial role in enhancing host
countries' attractiveness to foreign investors while ensuring long-term stability. Strong ESG
performance increases investor confidence. Policymakers who integrate ESG with trade openness
strategically position their economies as resilient destinations for global capital.

This approach fosters diversified growth aligned with sustainable development goals. As firms
increasingly expand their operations internationally through FDI's facilitation of cross-border
capital movement technology transfer becomes vital in enhancing productivity within host
countries.

By focusing on these themes during the AIM Congress 2025 stakeholders can explore actionable
strategies that maximise both FDI's potential impact on driving economic growth globally while
attracting investment opportunities across various sectors worldwide.
