Discussions explored the strategic geographic positioning of the GCC and Mediterranean countries in
fostering joint economic relations and unlocking new avenues for growth amid ongoing global economic
shifts. The sessions highlighted opportunities to establish strategic partnerships across key sectors, including

energy, trade, infrastructure, tourism, and innovation. They also reviewed emerging investment prospects
linking the UAE with Mediterranean markets, emphasizing the region's growing significance as a strategic
financial and trade hub that facilitates cross-border investment.

Participants also examined national strategies and progressive regulatory frameworks designed to attract
private capital, alongside the UAE's pivotal role in developing seaports and maritime infrastructure to
enhance regional trade and logistics. Further discussions addressed global investment trends, rising

government expenditure on infrastructure, technology, and clean energy, as well as evolving tourism policies
aimed at supporting economic diversification. The sessions underscored tourism's vital role in fostering
cultural understanding and social cohesion, and emphasized regional efforts to strengthen strategic tourism
partnerships between GCC and Eastern Mediterranean countries, recognizing the sector's importance in
deepening economic and cultural ties between the two regions.

Global trends shaping the digital economy, the role of shipping as a vital enabler of economic development,
the impact of technological advancements on the future of global trade, and the latest investment

developments in energy and advanced technologies for clean water treatment also formed part of the
discussions.

Roundtable discussions and bilateral meetings between the UAE and Cyprus

The event also featured a series of roundtable discussions and bilateral meetings between UAE and Cypriot
representatives from both the public and private sectors. These engagements aimed to strengthen ties

between the two countries' business communities, support the mutual leveraging of investment opportunities,
facilitate trade and investment flows, and explore prospects for collaboration across key economic sectors of
shared interest.

This edition marked the 16th in the Investopia Global Talks series and the first to be held in the Mediterranean
region. It builds on the success of the ‘Investopia Europe' edition, held in Milan in May, and will be followed by
a series of upcoming global events in major cities across India, China, and other countries later this year.
