2/22/24, 3:46 PM Investopia 2024: Investing in the “new economy” growth sectors
Investopia considers new economies as sectors that “address challenges in traditional
economic systems, such as inequality, sustainability and efficiency”, but also have
enormous potential to grow and become highly contributing sectors to economic
growth. These frontiers include renewable energy, logistics, fintech, sports, agritech

and healthtech.
“Investopia is one of the most important projects of the UAE in transitioning toward
the new economic model and stimulating investment in future economic sectors. It

has succeeded in presenting a unique and innovative model for global investment
events and building partnerships with global institutions and companies,” enthused
Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, the UAE’s minister of Economy and chairman of
Investopia.

He added, “Investopia will continue its vital role as an influential player in the
regional and international investment arena, generating opportunities in new
economic sectors and strengthening the link between global business communities
and the UAE, one of the fastest-growing global investment and trade hubs.”

Three salient areas

Investopia 2024 focuses on three main pillars: The Dialogues, The Communities and
The Marketplace.
In the Dialogues, Leaders, executives, government officials, and innovators discuss in
headline plenaries key topics shaping the global economy, the investment ecosystem,

and new economic sectors. Topics include Generative AI in investment, advanced air
mobility, economic fragmentation, alternative asset classes and others.
In Communities, community-focused roundtables and government-to-government
(G2G) sessions serve as a platform for investors and key decision-makers across both

public and private sectors to share meaningful exchanges.
The third area is the Investopia Marketplace. Launched at last year’s edition, the
Marketplace is a nexus for global capital and investment funds, boasting an extensive

database of investment opportunities. Apart from connecting capital and investment
funds worldwide, it will include a series of activities and discussions revolving around
the world of Startups, SMEs and the Future 100 companies recently announced in the
UAE. Finally, the Marketplace is also an important avenue where pivotal investment

announcements are made.
Strategic partnerships
As with its previous editions, Investopia exemplifies that much-needed spirit of

collaboration. For the two-day conference, Investopia has signed key Memoranda of
Understanding (MoUs) and announced partnerships with notable entities, including
Mubadala, Crypto.com, Standard Chartered, Citi, EFG Hermes, iConnections, the
General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of the UAE, the National Fund for
