During his welcoming remarks, Al Zeyoudi said, “The UAE will continue to champion investment
as an essential catalyst of development – where investment is geared towards expanding
opportunities, unlocking potential, forging new industries, and driving prosperity. Now the 16th
largest source of foreign investment in the world, allocating US$22.3 billion to international
projects in 2023 alone, impact investment is not the future for the UAE, but very much a policy of
the present. From vital infrastructure to agriculture, from energy to education, the UAE has and
will continue to use its capital to upgrade economies, drive innovation and elevate lives around
the world.”

Speaking on the successful track record of outbound investment from the UAE, Dr. Thani cited
several key international projects, including over US$50 billion invested in renewable energy
projects across six continents and up to US$7 billion on integrated food parks and cold supply
chains in India.

During the congress, Al Zeyoudi participated in a Ministerial Roundtable on ‘The Role of
International Trade Agreements in Building Open and Inclusive Markets,” where he highlighted
ways collaborative frameworks promote sustainable economic growth and effective responses
to global trade challenges.
Al Zeyoudi outlined the success of the UAE’s Comprehensive Economic Partnership program,
with its 27 deals already concluded, eight of which are in force, and its impact on driving export
growth and facilitating strategic investment into high-priority sectors.

Al Zeyoudi also attended the opening of the third World Local Production Forum, hosted in
the UAE in partnership between the Emirates Drug Establishment and the World Health
Organization (WHO).

Al Zeyoudi also engaged in bilateral discussions with senior government officials, including
Rustam Minnikhanov, Prime Minister of Tatarstan, and Hua Yuan, Vice Mayor of Shanghai, and
trade and investment ministers from countries representing all corners of the world, including
the middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Balkans and Oceania. The diversity of discussions
reflects the UAE's commitment to fostering global partnerships and driving sustainable
economic growth through targeted inbound and outbound investment.

As AIM Congress 2025 unfolded, it reinforced Abu Dhabi’s strategic role as a global
investment hub, encouraging innovative approaches to tackle economic challenges.
The congress demonstrated the UAE’s commitment to being a beacon of opportunity and
collaboration in the Middle East and beyond, leveraging technology to shape a prosperous
future for the world.
