UAE is the number one GCC and the fourth largest global investor in Africa with investments
totaling USD 60 billion.

UAE’s investments in clean & renewable energy in Africa valued at USD 4.5 billion.

In cooperation with Invest Africa, the Ministry of Economy organized a new edition of The
Africa Debate – UAE in Dubai. Bringing together more than 400 businessmen and

representatives of local, regional and global investment, finance and trade agencies and
institutions, the event explored the emerging economic, trade and investment opportunities in

Africa, contributing to enhancing cooperation between Asian and African markets through the
UAE in sectors of common interest. The UAE hosted the latest edition of The Africa Debate after

the event held its last 10 successful editions in London.

The hosting of The Africa Debate aligns with the UAE’s adoption of an economic openness
outlook and the strengthening of trade and investment relations with all global partners,

especially the African continent, which is an economic, investment and trade destination full of
sustainable partnership opportunities in the fields of energy, infrastructure, digital

transformation, renewable energy, agriculture, food safety, and new economy. This will cement
the UAE’s position as a leading economic powerhouse that links the African continent and

various global markets in line with the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision.
