7/30/25, 3:44 PM Investopia Global launches new economy dialogues in Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh
India: Top source of tourists to the UAE

H.E. pointed out that tourism stands out as a cornerstone of economic collaboration between the two
nations. India has established itself as the UAE's primary source of tourists, contributing 4.23 million
visitors during 2024. The air connectivity between the countries continues to expand, with over 600

weekly flights operated by carriers from both nations.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Jean Faris, CEO of Investopia, stated: "Investopia has emerged as a global
platform with a clear vision to shape the future of investment in advanced economic sectors - both
regionally and globally. Through its events and international dialogues, the platform connects ambitious

capital with transformative ideas, contributing to the development of a new economy that fosters
sustainable growth and enables cross-border economic and investment partnerships."

He added: "The global economy is undergoing profound geopolitical and structural shifts, marked by
evolving trade routes and an accelerating digital transformation. In this context, there is an urgent need
to build more resilient and sustainable economic systems. Against this backdrop, we gather here in

Hyderabad and the state of Andhra Pradesh to leverage the geographic and competitive advantages of
both the UAE and India, forging joint visions and innovative solutions that unlock new opportunities for
both business communities."

Expanding avenues for economic and investment partnerships

In detail, Investopia Global dialogues in Hyderabad City and Andhra Pradesh State featured a series of

panel discussions and roundtable meetings that explored the evolution of cross-border economic and
investment partnerships between the UAE and India, across both public and private sectors. The
sessions spotlighted promising opportunities in the two countries’ markets, particularly within the new
economy, infrastructure, technological innovation, sustainable industries, data centers, and agri-tech.

Shaping the future of UAE-India-Africa trade corridor

The sessions examined the future of the UAE–India–Africa trade corridor and its critical role in creating
new avenues for economic and investment integration among the three regions. The corridor empowers
Emirati and Indian enterprises to forge partnerships and launch viable joint ventures in African markets.
The UAE’s strategic location, bridging East and West and North and South, and its position as a global

logistics and financial gateway, together with India’s strength as a regional and global center for
production and innovation, and Africa’s status as a rapidly growing and opportunity-rich emerging
market, make this corridor a strategic platform for expanding cross-border and intercontinental
economic activity.
